When couples disagree about financial transparency with adult children regarding inheritance

My wife and I disagree about whether to tell our adult children how much money they'll inherit because I think it will make them lazy and she thinks they deserve to know so they can plan their lives, and this disagreement is really about whether we trust the people we raised. The amount is enough to change their life trajectories completely.
