Long post sorry!
I have DC1 who is 18mo and am pregnant with DC2.
Dc1 goes to PIL for 7 hours a week and nursery for 20 as I work PT but couldn't afford nursery every day.
When DC goes to PIL he usually comes back covered in snot with a full nappy but very happy, they have a big bright open plan house with a large garden, plenty of time and energy to spoil him, when I go to collect him he occasionally won't come over to me and they say things like "you don't like it when mommy comes to get you do you?" And "that's mommy, have you forgotten her" and if he cries as I try to get him in the car seat they will hover round saying "don't worry baby you will be back with us before you know it" they one up me and DH with his Christmas presents, they make comments that we don't dress him very well (I dress him beautifully) I got him a nice advent calendar and they got him a Better one, I know they are only spoiling him and loving him but I feel like they are trying to put me down in the process and remind me that I'm not able to provide as much for him as they can.
they are also saying they want to take him to Disneyland soon, I can't stand the idea of me allowing him to miss out on this because I'm jealous that they can afford it and I can't. AIBU to feel jealous of this and feel like a bad parent in comparison?
