My husband and I have found ourself a in a really lucky position to be able to pay off our small outstanding mortgage and put a little more aside for the rest of our retirement.
I also plan to save a little for each of our grandchildren’s future, we have 3 children so also planned to give each family a equal sum of money, just to help with whatever they see fit.
However my youngest child who has 3 children is refusing to accept saying that we should keep it for something we want or split her potion between the grandchildren. This breaks my heart as they are such a hard working family who really struggle financially.
What should I do? Not offer to money to any of my kids to keep it fair?
This should be such a happy moment which we have worked hard for which is now turning into a really stressful situation.

You could always send it to a Yorkshire exile living in New Zealand grin
