Now my dad has always been my hero growing up no matter what he did wrong I was daddy's lil girl.
When I was 10 he met my step mum, she had 4 kids who are all older than me. The oldest at the time was already in his 20's fast forward a decade and the oldest being a man got married and had a daughter.
A couple years later I fell pregnant and found out that the other lil girl called my dad grandad which is fine as long as they were treated the same.
Last Xmas they went to her other child's house for the day in London we didn't get a visit or anything .. She lives about 30 minute walk away.
Every year we see my dad on Xmas eve as its his bday .. btw they live in Kent.
Anyway Step mum's son has just walked out on his wife and kid and last week my dad announced that step mum wanted to spend Xmas with Her daughter in law and grandchild also the 3 other kids she had before marrying step brother ... they also call them nan and grandad although mine have never been able to call her nan.
He also stated that it meant he couldn't be here on Xmas eve for lunch because the other grandkids live in Essex so will have to stay there over the 3 days... aibu to think my children or me have never had a look in at Xmas . My dad dotes on my girls but it's her grandchildren that come first.

Also they are selling their house and each of her kids are getting 5k and the 4 grandkids 3 of which are step are getting 1k,
We haven't been offered s penny because although he pays her money to live on and live there the house is hers. But surely my children are as Much her step grandkids as the other 3,

  1. Why have your kids never been allowed to call her Nan?
  2. Is it Christmas or not getting money you're more upset about?

So sad. YANBU at all. What makes this even worse is it is not as a grown up that you experience this but from being part of the family from a 10 year old. Sorry OP I feel so sad for you. I assume you have tried talking to your dad over the years.
