[quote=Anonymous]I think most posters are missing where the comment really came from and that is a place of hurt. I believe your kid is hurt that his grandfather can’t be bothered to pick out a gift he would like and give it to him. I think the grandfather is inconsiderate and should be told kids like presents that show adults care. As a parent, I disregard 529s that I don’t have direct control over because the grandparent could change their mind and pull the money anytime. It’s not really a gift when it’s not even in your name. And this happens. The grandfather is wealthy but only giving a conditional gift that really isn’t a gift. It’s like when my well off in-laws keep sending cards with $5 in them. Cute when the kid is 5, but the tween can’t even buy a bubble tea with it. Also, a 529 is a gift to parents as well as kids, but again conditional. Cash is the only true gift since there are no take backs. [/quote]
