I really wish grandparents would understand how heart breaking it can be to a child (and the…

Or their own sibilings my boyfriends mom has said she wants nothing to do with this baby coming yet shes nunber one grandma to my boyfriends son !

I feel the exact same way, my mom favors my niece so much over my son. It really bugs the hell outta me, she will buy everything my niece needs just so my brother has money to go out and smoke or drink it all away. Like literally everything revolves around my niece. It’s so awful when grandparents do that, my son doesn’t really understand it now but he’s going to start understanding it very soon. My mom asks me all the time why I won’t let her watch my son and I just simply make up and excuse, 1 I don’t trust her and 2 I hate the favoritism game.

My mom favores my neice over my kids. But part of it is because my sister has her babysit all the time and she lived with her up untill after she was a year old and we have always lived farther away so i guess i can see why.

@mamijess_602 that's really sad because with siblings they're most likely to notice it even more. 😕

@anissacampos88 that's exactly what my mother and father in law do. They play favorites with my husband's older brother and sister's kids but ignores ours and acts like they don't exist unless it's convenient for them. And then when they're all together they treat our kids like they're annoying and treat their kids like they're the best things ever. It's sad and really pisses me off. Not only did my husband have to go through the same crap as a kid because they also played favorites with his siblings, he has to go through it again with his own kids. 🙁

@leahkay, I hate it, it really disgusts me. I was just telling my husband I remember we had to live with my parents when my son was born cause our apartment had no ac and it was the middle of the summer when we brought him home. It was 116, and one day we were on our way to Walmart. She asked me if I needed anything I asked her to pick up a small pack of diapers, she told me she couldn’t afford to do it. When she came back she had three jumbo boxes of diapers for my niece. Ever since then I haven’t once asked her to buy anything for Jr or my new baby, and when she offers I decline it everytime due to the fact that she will throw it in my face when she gets mad at me. I don’t count on her for anything, I’m having a csection on the 29th and she’s supposed to watch Jr while I have it and I’m not even getting my hopes up for that.

Thank god my parents don't do that buy my MIL does. She pushes my daughter aside so much its all about my husband other daughter from his previous marriage. She even treats her brothers who are not related to her in any way better than she treats my daughter. So i don't allow her to go over much and i already told her she won't be there when i give birth to my son either.

True

It’s heartbreaking! I grew up without my moms parents. They’re alive, but never talk to my siblings or I. They LOVE all their other grandkids though. All we got was a birthday check every year... It really had a psychological effect on me too. Now that I’m pregnant, my mom wants to be the opposite of her mom, but growing up without a grandma I’m not used to it. She wants to be so involved and is getting tons of baby stuff for her house and everything and I don’t understand it. It made me mad at first tbh cuz I felt like she was going to try and take over the role of mom. Now I understand more, but it is going to be a lot to get used to having her so involved when I never had a grandma like that.
