[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are honestly worried about your kids not spending the money well, then ask for it to be put into trust until they are older (or, I know some lawyers who suggest leaving it in trust indefinitely).

Also, to answer your question:  Yes, I would be upset.  [/quote]

OP here. I would not be hurt if it was a trust fund for the kids that could only be spent on furthering education. Is something like that possible? I would like to suggest that to her, but I am not too optomistic considering she never offered to help with any college expenses or kids lessons, etc. She is hoping one of the grandkids will stay in her house.

Your mother is acting spitefully by cutting you out entirely. I would be very hurt.   She's also setting up situations in which you are arguing to yourself about whether you are a good enough daughter or if your own daughter is "better" to her grandmother than you are.

It's hurtful and you are not wrong to be hurt. It's not the money, it's the point of wondering what you did to get disowned.

There's nothing that you can do about it. It's her money and her will. Let it go.

It's not wrong to be hurt, though.
