Im going back to work in 3 months time. My family live away, so they can’t have our son, and my Husbands parents have their first grandson (their daughters son) 3 days a week.
We have asked for childcare when I go back expecting them to offer us the same and they’ve offered us one day a week as the other one is there three.
Is it usual to offer the first grandchild one thing, and the second grandchild something else? Does it have any bearing on whether it’s your sons or daughters child?
We feel it it is desperately unfair but we’re not really sure where to go with it to be honest. Any advice appreciated.

I. A Mum to 5 grown up children and been a childminder for 28 years, expecting our first grandchild soon. Also hoping to retire from childminding in next couple of years because it's exhausting looking after small children. As I have 5 grown children would op think it only fair for me to offer care when needed to all 5 of my children just as im entering retirement, I'm 56 right now.
