Nick and Adalind aren't visiting anything on their children. Just like their parents, Diana and Kelly are part of this from birth. The difference is that they'll be coming to it from a much healthier perspective. You're right, of course, that Nick grew up unaware of what a Grimm was. But for that very reason, he has to take a different tact. All that confusion led to so much pain. It left him wondering who he was and whether he could have anything good in his life. Kelly will grow up in a stable and happy environment, but also one where the work his family does, isn't some dark secret. How could they understand who the people in their lives are, and who they themselves are, without the truth. As these kids grow up, they'll be given the tools to understand and deal with the world they're a part of. Diana is already knee deep in it. There's no going back. And her power is so profound, that it would be irresponsible for them not to educate her on how to use it for good. And Kelly is destined to be a Grimm, whether his family wants that for him or not. If your whole family lied to you, and suddenly you started seeing things, there might be some resentment. Instead they will choose to teach both Diana and Kelly about who they are and how they're part of something much bigger than themselves. When we meet them later in life, these are adults who have made a choice for themselves about how they mean to honor that. It's like those families who have a tradition of military service or of joining the police and fire department. To take up this fight is a calling. One they have to come to terms with as anyone would. They respect their family and themselves by carrying that legacy onward. And Nick and Adalind would never have forced that on them. It's also not the sum total of who Diana and Kelly are as people. They likely went to college, have their own career aspirations, friends they grew up with, love lives, and own unique relationships with all the characters we know. And it would be because they weren't sheltered and hidden from the big scary Wesen world, that they're strong and confident now.
This is all speculation but it's basically a variation of "with great power comes great responsibility" except I don't think this was forced on them. They were going to meet up with the triplets and I certainly don't think they were forced into it either.
It's very likely that they all think they're performing a service for the greater good. They don't want to turn away when there are bad wesen to stop and people to protect, especially with their combined power and knowledge. It's not hard for me to understand. I'm pretty sure they all decided on their own whether they wanted to be involved or not.
The good thing about this next generation will be the lack of secrets among them. Remember that they're all working together now and their parents have already survived the worse. They're far more prepared than the scoobies were and they still have them to lean on if necessary.
