Hi all, just want some perspective on my situation so trying to put as much info on here has I can, I'm single mum to my children, i have one nearly teenager and 2 under 6. Child 1 dad isn't involved (never has been)
Child 2 and 3 dad is a waste of space. I currently do not work but am looking.
My mum and dad have helped me though out the years so much financially we would have nothing it it wasn't for them, they take us to butlins every year all paid for etc. If I need help with anything i.e diy car troubles (dad's a mechanic so does it all).
I really do not want to come across has ungrateful I appreciate everything they have done and still do for me and the kids BUT I just can't get my head around the favourite grandchild which is my eldest.
I get it they are really close we lived at there home till he was two, my mum was there when he was born so a really close bond. But it's starting to show on my other two now. Last night has really bothered me. My son rang his nan asking if he could stay.... of course he could, my 6year old was standing next to him and asked the same thing to which of course she couldn't, no reason has to why not, just not this week...... She starting sobbing.
She's never stayed there even tho she asks to, they never thing to see if the youngest want to do anything but take my son out regularly. He's just come back now, he's been mcdonalds symths toys. Nothing for my girls.
Am I right to be upset by this?
I'm not demanding they babysit my children but surely it should be same rules that apply and not just pick and choose.
I mentioned child's dads earlier has when I have mentioned this to her before the fact my eldest dad isn't around is why..... My girls dad doesn't do anything for them, take them out, have them by himself, so I was shocked at her logic.
Am I ungrateful/unreasonable?? Wrong for feeling like this?
