So I am the eldest of four.
My bro lives in France and hasn't kids.
My two sisters are 14 years younger than me and from my mums second marriage.
I have five dc spread from 30-4.
Mum has always been a good granny although was working until a few years ago so rarely looked after my dc.
My sisters chikdren are all 3 and under.
The 3 year old is literally like a prince to my mum. It's ridiulous.
She looks after him while my sis works 2 days.
When we visit or call, she talks about him non stop and my two younger ones have noticed this.
We went to watch my dd in panto yesterday, she has worked so hard rehearsing for months.
Mum bought the fav gs who clings to her and won't say hello to anyone, winges and clambers all over her.
I was met with her telling me she was having him to stay but he's refusing to but that my sister was ill so she simply had to get over to her the next day to look after them. She hardky aknowledged my 4 year old or my gs (her ggs) just kept on about having to go and help dsis.
I have has 4 surgerys in the last two years and currently have my arm in a cast, she has never once offered to help me!!
Dh and I had good giggle about it last night but I do feel pretty hurt about it if I'm honest.
I also had PIL here all weekend to see dd for her birthday, they seem tone unable to talk about anything else but the other granddaughter and how much they do to help them!
They live away to be fair but on top of my mum I could scream!!!
Probably not much I can do but just fancied a bit of a rant.
