Sadly I think this is an issue we will have to learn to live with, but any advice or ideas welcome.
Has anyone had experience of a grandparent favouring one grandchild such as providing more childcare, buying more gifts etc. The other granddaughter is seen nearly everyday, whereas we have to actively make set arrangements so that our LO has time with his grandparents. If we didn't it would be weeks even months, despite all living close by.
I have brought this up and have been labelled jealous (which I am). My biggest concern is the point my LO realises this is going on. At the moment they are too young to understand.
I don't want to cut my nose off to spite my face. I suspect it is turning into a toxic relationship which is really sad as before we had children our relationship was great. Do we need to accept this situation and try distance ourselves for the sake of our children's future happiness?
