I’ve a 2 year old grandchild, I’ve been with my partner 7 years, he’s not interested in slightest with him or my family tbh; all very nice when they are here, just wondered will things ever change, my grandchild is a huge part of my life, I’m scared I can’t be the nanny I want to be because of my partner .

What do you mean by that? Are you wanting to babysit at yours but your partner is against it? That sort of thing?

Not sure how you want the voting to work, but some people just aren't into kids. What is it that you want him to do that he isn't doing?

Edit: And how does this prevent you from being the grandparent you want to be?

Need more info.

Does he take an interest in his own family?

Does he expect you to take an interest in his family?

Is he generally uninterested in your life and hobbies and friends?
