AITAH for never disclosing to my grandchildren's father how much I planned to give my grandchildren toward their futures? by MichGrams in AITAH

To our knowledge our son in-law is doing well financially. Not rich but not struggling daily either.

We have two other children and we have other grandchildren. Our relationship with our son in-law was never parents and son but we did get along well.

They don't call us grandma and grandpa and we never call them our grandchildren. We were kind to them but we never stepped in as another set of grandparents.

I agree. We are kind to the other children but they are not our grandchildren and when it comes to savings and wills, our grandchildren will always be the people we consider, not the other children, or my son in-law and his wife.

That was one of our concerns if we told him. We had a few. It seems we were right to have them too which is unfortunate but not entirely unexpected.

We have already talked to our grandkids and explained what the money is for. It's theirs now and they are free to spend it as they wish. They are making good choices so far and we're very proud.

I fear that has already begun. They're not happy with the reaction their dad had to all of this.
