this is going to sound ridiclous, and probably a bit cruel and selfish, but i have a 7 month old little girl and my bf's family already have a 2 year old grandson, they absolutley dote on him and bf's mum takes him 3 days and nights a week so her daughter can work.. my problem is! i am sick and tired of him getting all the attention adn my little girl getting left out, they always take him places buy things for him fuss over him constantly and me and my little girl are always left sitting alone, i only live round the corner from them adn i never get a phone call asking about her or a visit to see her, because they are too pre occupied with their little grandson, hes a lovely little boy but i am coming to resent him! i dont liek going over there anymore and sometimes i make a point of not going like (why should i go there when they dont come here) its so petty and its driving my boyfriend nuts but ive had a enough!! i got a phone call two mins ago from his mum asking if she could have my little girl tomorow because the wee lad is getting photos done tomorow in his nursery and wants some with her in it too, ive said ok but i wanted to say.. NO! bugger off you only want her for a picture. oh my god i sound awful but honestly im going to go mad, is it just me or am i being stupid?? but i dont like being around him anymore i suppose im jelous, my parents dote over my little girl, alwasy wanting to see her taking her places texting just to see how she is.. also every time shes near that boy she ends up catching an illness of him which makes me dislike him even more. what the hells wrong with me seriously, am i just a total bitch?

when you have a 7 month old, a 2 year old will seem like a big bruiser by comparison, and you will think of the 7 month old as a delicate wee flower - but when your DD is that age, you will see how little 2 year olds are, and how that age is a magnet for all sorts of nasty bugs.

agree with scottishmummy - accept what you can't change - no point getting bitter, it will achieve nothing.
