    She says she is too old to look after my 2 at once.
    they have never had my 2 overnight before-but offered for her DD. Double standards are great in families arent they?


    Ohhh I have so been there Bunny!! I have been told on one occassion that my boys are not as loving as "other grandchildren".........maybe thats because you havent invested any "love" in them, it bloomin well makes your blood boil.

    But I say............their loss! How old is she anyway? My Grandad would look after my boys when he was in his late 70s :A
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well, to be fair, OH's Dad is in his mid 70's and his Mom is in her late 60's.
    I do really miss my Mom when these situations arise

    Oh Bunny, that sounds so familiar.. one set of my grandparents took very little interest in me (while other set who lived further away doted on me), I can remember them 'babysitting' once or twice in my whole childhood. Completely different story with my cousins though, they looked after them practically every week. Guess which set I have had practically no contact with for the last ten years, it's about three years since I even spoke to them on the phone.
