I have a DS8. Dsis has 2 children aged 3 and 4.
DM is always with them. We all live within 20 mins of each other so it's not travel that's a problem.
When DS was little we saw DM more but it does not compare to how much time and effort DM puts into Dsis children at this age.
It's all DM talks about, she will drop anything to see them or look after them.
She never did with us. She's said DS is harder not being of behaviour but because he wants to interact and talk to you. I mean wtf. Poor kid he just wants to speak to his nanny.
Today we have sports day and she's not coming. She's been every year so far. There's been a slight issue with a repair but DF is about to sort. If it was Dsis children I'd have no doubt she would be there.
Dm sees Dsis and children 6 out of 7 days usually. If she's not seeing them, Dsis is face timing or texting. Tbh their relationship is extremely unhealthy and Dsis is co dependant on her but I just feel like me and DS are the forgotten ones and she has another daughter and grandson too.
Feeling sad and alone tbh. I've always felt like that outsider of the family
