    Tbf in some cultures its rude not to initially decline and say, “no its too much”, or imply your not worthy of that much.

      That is vanity disguised as manners. It is one thing to show respect to present company. But to teach people that “no” means “make me take it”… that is a dangerous game.

        Yes, but the problem is that it’s ingrained in culture, and most people are raised with that attitude, so if you raise your kid to act differently, you’re setting them up to be rude in the perception of others.

    Grandma respects your wishes. Maybe try not being a disingenuous prick and accept kindness and gifts when offered.
