Would this bother anyone else? I know it’s petty but I’ve tried to not let it bother me but it’s hard. So my mum has my brothers child every single Monday and regular overnight stays at the weekends. He has two I have four so fair enough I’m not expecting her to have all of them but she never ever even has one of mine and even if she did it would be for an emergency she would never commit to regular childcare for me but she does have them two every single Monday including picking them up from school bringing them to hers then they stay till their mum collects them before bed (she’s never picked mine up ever) also not just that but she posts constant and I mean constant pics of them on her WhatsApp (this is daily) you would think they were her children this isn’t just one pic but 4/5 pics a day of them on her status but never any of my children, would anyone else find this odd/ upsetting? I have no other help as my kids don’t see their dad and don’t have contact with his family whereas my nieces have contact with their mums side who also has her own mum and loads of sisters. Just wondered how others would feel? Her not having them wouldn’t bother me as much but I think I’m more bothered by the constant reminders on her WhatsApp. People often say that mums are closer to their daughters children but that obviously isn’t the case here but my mum has always made it no secret that my brother is her favourite.

Just to add I live 10 minutes away from her and I only moved to this area as she promised all kinds of support if I was living closer which never happened as soon as my brother had his children she didn’t want to know.
