Sharing the Wealth or Keeping it in the Family? ‍ ‍ ‍

Our protagonist and his sister were over the moon when they found out their grandparents had sold their house and gifted them a generous sum of money. They already had plans for this unexpected windfall, like paying off college debts and funding a wedding. But their joy was short-lived when their uncle’s wife called, claiming her sons (our protagonist’s new ‘cousins’) were hurt for not getting a share of the money. These ‘cousins’ had never been part of the family before, and two of them hadn’t even met the grandparents! The grandparents made it clear that the money was for their original grandchildren, but left the decision to share up to them. ‍♀️ Now our protagonist and his sister must decide whether to split their inheritance five ways or keep it for themselves. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
