[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with above poster that this has nothing to do with the college fund. This is more about the 14 year old being rude to his grandfather - the same exact situation without the college fund still would have been rude. I think the focus should be being kind to the grandfather (and others?), instead of being grateful about the college fund. [/quote]

This. It was rude. Don't focus on the college fund.

That said, maybe stop the practice of the opening the Christmas card in front of the grandfather. I mean, what kid (or what person) really wants to open a Christmas card with - and I'm making a big assumption here based on OP's description - with the grandpa's signature. What's the point of that? Just enjoy the time with family without the pretense of opening a card.[/quote]

No, that is part of the gift. Their grandfather chooses a card with a picture and sentiment he likes, writes his grandchildren’s names, signs it himself, and hands it to his grandchildren. He gets pleasure in this exchange.  [/quote]
