Hi there
just looking for some of you guys opinion on this situation.

i was at the mother in laws the other day and she was telling me how she wanted to do her garden up for the grandchildren when they come over which is great but she was saying how she wanted to get the grandchildren slides and swings for the garden.

i have 3 children ages
10
2
1
my oldest is not her biological grandchild but treats her as her own
she has 3 biological grandchildren my two youngest and her daughter who just had a baby 3 months ago.

my thing is she was saying how she wanted to buy swings and slides for the babys for the garden which is lovely but I’m wondering would that be fair that she gets the stuff for the baby’s but nothing for my 10 yr old I no she big for a slide frame and that but do you think she should get her a little something if she buying all this play stuff for the babies.
i just don’t know if that would be fair or just something not to worry about

You're overthinking. A ten year old doesn't need playthings in their grandparent's garden. Don't be ungrateful and make a tit of yourself.

I think Nanna knows that your 10 year old is fast approaching the age where playing in the garden is a huge yawn, so thinks there's not much point getting stuff for that age range.

Mine at ten liked big bubble wands, stomp rockets, swingball, a clutch diabolo. You could suggest or get something like this to keep there?

What part was ungrateful? lol just asking would it be fair didn’t say I was going to kick off about it or did I slate her lol

Don't think this is a hill to die on, no.

Thankyou yeah I just wondering from my daughter point of view if she would see it like that

She will because Nanna (or you) will have provided grown up toys not boring old baby toys, the babies can't play with these, they're too little, etc.
