If this is true, that grandson is a POS. I would give anything to have my grandparents alive and having the ability to meet my wife and hear their great stories and bits of wisdom. People who take having their grandparents alive for granted truly disgust me, and to treat them like this is psychotic. That boy needs a woopin'.

Sounds like a wonderful expression of love to me.
Too bad the husband/ Grandson can not recognize it for what it is.

Social media sucks. Once upon a time, this would be a non-issue because it wouldn't go far beyond the immediate family one way or another. Now, everything becomes a big deal because it is posted on Social media. What a disaster Social media is. What a horror.
Anyone that gets bent about it now can kick rocks. Hardly anyone here had slaves. It's like blaming everyone who doesn't wear a mask 24/7 created covid.

someone recently admonished me that Newsweek was hard news and without bias though. Hope they read this thread/article.

"News" once again getting its content from random social media posts and anonymous nobodies.

I don't get why Newsweek does this kind of stories or why people click on them or post about them to forums. Or why I am even responding. It's taking me a lot of words to say I don't care.

Is this story about Queen Elizabeth and Megan Markle?

The grandson's action sounds like something that twit Prince Harry would do.

Next stop: Oprah!

I think it's sweet. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with this.

I thought the gift was very sweet (with real monetary value), and the grandson another wanna be viral SJW.
