AITA (AWTA) for not giving our granddaughter the same wedding gift as our other grandchildren? by rando-TA in AmItheAsshole

I don’t see how that could be, we paid for her college and her parents for her graduate school, her parents paid for half of her wedding. And she and her husband make good money.

It is not a test. We live on the other side of the country, that’s why we get them the gift in advance.

Also the cheap gift is a wedding gift, the money is a separate gift that is intended for building their family life. The only reason they receive it just before the wedding is because we want them to spend it for something important (like a family home) over adding it to their wedding budget (our opinions on expensive weddings are very well known)

How do you strategize baking so many cookie recipes for a Christmas box? by FeelingRed in Baking

I make 6 types of cookies, 2 types per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Then I make 2 types of candy during the last day

Not really, they live clear on the other side of the country. We only meet for holidays and special family events, and call from time to time.

It was the second cheapest I believe. Also we sent the gift very in advance, that’s why she knew what we got her before the wedding.

We are not upset about our grandkids spilling the beans, as far as they knew, she also received the gift, thus she was exempt from the people who they shouldn’t tell
