I seriously doubt that. You mean most think it's OK to tell someone else what to do with "their" money? Not.
Even a few on this thread agree with me.
True...but again they said "they" wouldn't do that not that granny didn't have a right to do that.
I really don't understand why you care. You sound well off and that difference in money wouldn't change your life. And yes I can see granny's point of view "if" you are so insistent in talking about households(even though it was left to individuals and very fairly). The "households" earn about the same but the one with more children will have a harder time with bills because of more people. The one with the 100,000 a year income and one child...I don't feel bad for them at all. Heck their house should already be paid off
You sound bitter and get angry when people don't agree with you. You need to grow up and get over it. Live your life and don't let this destroy the relationships with your family. I can also say if anyone talked about "my" money choices the way you and/or wife had I would cut you out of my will in a heartbeat.

They agree it’s grossly unequal. Again who’s is to say daughter 2 doesn’t have 2 more kids.
Financial situations are similar. No debt nice house savings
Comparing pizzas and number of bedrooms with inheritance? Pleeeeease...
Maybe they shouldn’t have so many kids with only two bedrooms
I find that interesting, I threw this question out to my coworkers ~50 people. Lol had a 30 minute chat at lunch, pretty much the overwhelming concensus was
1) everyone has the right to give THEIR money in any way they see fit
2) Children are not entitled to a dime
3) We'd be grateful and not whine about any money we got. But most of us grew up low middle class or working poor so we don't have entitlement mentalities.
So is your wife going to throw this in her sisters face forever?

But there were some that agreed with me in your 50 person lunch
Sounds like everyone was treated equally to me. Money left to grandkids is for them, not their parents, it's not "family" money. So many greedy people in this world.
