Arkie--so does he want the land or not? If he's complaining about paying $300 for it, then perhaps he doesn't want it. Maybe son #2 would like it instead? I have no tolerance for such thoughtlessness and ingratidude. Unfortunately, too many 20-somethings haven't had to earn their standard of living and have an entitlement mentality. You didn't ask for advice, but if you want to know, I'd withdraw my offer until such a time as the son was ready to show some appreciation for such generous parents and honor my wishs.

as a 20-something I would have to agree...if your are not appreciative of a gift..then you deserve to have it taken away! Maybe he would like to have a house and stuff on land you own, and not konw from one day to the next if you were going to sell it...Why is it so many people my age have a hard time putting themselves in others shoes...grrr

Up-date , my son came out today and said his wife has a problem with having the deed fixed to show the place is not to be sold until we die and she wasn't building a house on it if she had to put that on the deed. So, we may or may not have gave the land to them.

And these kids are 35 my son and 32 his wife.

Honestly, I wouldn't give them the land, then. It seems obvious that they just want to sell it and make money off of it. Which isn't horrible, but they should just be able to come out and say that instead of being all passive aggressive about it. I'd recommend holding onto the land and just giving it to them in your will.

Now that is an idea.

These are the kids that knew why we bought the land years ago and also know that we didn't have it on the market and would have sent anyone packing if they ask about buying the place. So why do they think we would be ok with an open deed.

I guess what I am trying to say is if they wasn't our kids they never would have gotten that land.
