I didn't mean to switch. I meant it's kind of splitting hairs to say can you pay $100 for this and then take the money and use it else ware while you're still paying the original $100. In this case I think it's more like asking for $140 while you're paying the original $100 so may not be splitting hairs.

Even if the amounts were identical I still would have approached it differently with the grandparents. If i bought my kids something for $100 and then decided I wanted the same thing but didn't have the $$$, I wouldn't ask the grandparents to buy the original $100 item for the kids so I could buy my own.
