It’s a challenging situation for both Jen and Eloise.

Jen and her husband have a tradition of generously gifting their grandchildren after their weddings, but Eloise’s reaction to their gift left them feeling hurt and disrespected. While Eloise may have been stressed, her words and actions had consequences.
Jen and her husband decided not to give Eloise the money as they felt it wouldn’t be right given her reaction. They wanted to send a message about the importance of respect and family values over material possessions. However, Eloise felt punished and pleaded for understanding, emphasizing her stress during wedding planning.

In response, Jen reiterated their love for Eloise but stood firm in their decision, hoping she would understand and reflect on her behavior. Eloise’s threat to skip Christmas and accusations of exclusion further strained the situation, but Jen maintained that their decision was not about cutting her off but about teaching a lesson.

Ultimately, the resolution may require communication, understanding, and a willingness to reconcile on both sides. Jen and Eloise both need time to process their feelings and hopefully find a way to move forward together as a family.
