I know that this post will probably get me slated for expecting too much.
However this is increasingly getting me down.
My ds is my only dc and he has just turned 10 he was always the only dc in the family until 4 years ago when my older sisters children started having children.
Now I know that my sister will love and cherish her grandchildren and I don,t blame her for that at all.
But my sister and other members of the family go out of their way to spoil these younger children and are forever buying them things taking them out and my poor ds never gets a thing off anyone.
They go away on holidays bringing back a gift for them and nothing for my ds.
Its just all them them all of the time.
Nobody ever pops into see my ds and say hello.
they all seem to rally around these younger children and nobody gives my ds a thought and ds never seems to have had any of this sort of attnetion even when very young.
Do you think its me with the problem because I feel depressed about it.
