[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be aware that you are risking even more damaging your relationships with your sibling. I personally wouldn’t bypass their parents. [/quote]

Okay. Fair enough.

My goal here is not to let my sibling steal the money or threaten their child to give the money up. I definitely want the child to know they are getting this money. If their parent takes it from them, then they will see who their parent is for themselves, if they haven't already.

You sound shady and accusatory.  You should discuss finances with your sibling and agree on things to make it equal.  You are in the wrong.  If the parents are paying all the kids expenses, they should take the money directly to pay for things.  Why should you control what they do with their kids?[/quote]
Are you the sibling? 
OP's sibling was not acting fairly, and is not trustworthy, so there's no need for her to make it equal. In fact, she doesn't have to give the grandkids anything. [/quote]
