I hope your daughter had a wonderful birthday!!!!
My oldest doesn't even want to go to grandma's house (my mom) because he's noticed that he gets treated different. Year before last her and my step-dad got all the older kids a little not really expensive MP3 thing except for him, they got the little kids movie tickets to a kiddie movie, except for my 3, they got all the oldest kids in the bunch 22's except for him, and I feel so bad for him when she has all five of the oldest kids opening packages and when they give something like that mine is always different. Chris has noticed it and doesn't want to go. And it's not like you can not notice it because she makes all the kids line up on the floor and wait until every thing is passed out, when its an "older" kid group thing they have the older kids line up by them selves and they have to wait until it's passed out to everyone.
My brother will not have nothing to do with her last year was the first time he talked to her in 13 years, but he gave me permission to take my nephew over there for the first time the week after christmas she knew he was coming and right in front of him gave my youngest son John Deere salt and pepper shakers, and didn't give Zack a D@mn thing, and she KNEW he was coming! She had seen him once in his life.....She sent a birthday card for him this year and I asked him what grandma sent him he said a card and $10 I know she gives $20 to the grand kids, I played it off.
I've got to leave here now, I'm getting going on her and I will not stop the woman can tick me off, It's one thing for her to treat me second class but don't do it to my kids.
Oh they have a "family" pic. done, guess who's the only ones NOT in it.

No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

Sunie how many times do I have to tell you....That women is crazy the kids don't let it bother them you should not either.Believe it or not those kids are smart and they see it. Plus grandma made up for it while she was here. KIds pick up on it better than we do.My moms dad is the same way I was his first grand child ask him my name he does not know it but it is his lose.Children are a blessing no matter what if they choose to act like 2 yr olds throwing a tantrum tough their problem not yours let the children be a blessing in your life.
Really?Thats probably not the smartest thing you have done today...HUH?

I have 2 girls and a boy. My sister has a boy. My mom was always partial to the girls. She did get close to my sister's son when he was in college but when he was little , he and my son definitely knew they weren't the favorites. But mom was fair with gifts etc. My son never loved my mom.

I feel for ya. My dh's parents are the same way. We lived 100 feet up the road from them, I was 8 months pregnant with our middle child and I had broken my ankle. You would think they would stop at the house to see if I needed any thing or help with my oldest who was 15 months at the time. Nope. I would see them drive by and that was it.
Another time a few years ago we were all over at In-laws house on Christmas and they bring out two brand new bikes, with helmets and all that. Took them right past my kids and gave them to dh's sisters two kids. My kids got tooth brushes. The look on my oldest sons face broke my heart like you wouldnt believe. I didn't say a word, just got the kids and left.
There is plenty of other things but don't want to take over lol. I know my in-laws don't care for me. They have told others and myself but that is no reason to treat there own grandkids like that. It is one of the reasons we moved from upstate NY to Alabama. All of dh's family lives in NY, not one of them will come to visit us.
I hope they come around and realize what great grandkids they got there before it is to late. ((Hugs)) Hope your daughter had a good birthday.
My mom...gone but not forgotten

Toothbrushes now thats sad. I think I'd have to go buy them something special to make them feel better. I wish people would treat each other better.

Happy Birthday to your daughter, I am glad she had a mother that loved her to throw a birthday party with a cool cake. I hope that she had fun, despite her sucky grandparents. I am an unfavorite grandchild, so I can understand 100% what she is going through

I hope your daughter had a wonderful birthday!!!!

I hope that you don't make him go, that is so sad that he knows his grandma doesnt love them as much as her other kids.

There's nothing you can do about people like that, there is just something wrong with them that someone "normal" could never understand.

glad she had a fun time w/ her friends. It's hard enough when other kids can be ugly but to have your own family act that way to a child is down right nasty. I could take it when my in-laws were ugly to me (even if it did hurt) thankfully DH stood up to then and now it's all good and they are great to my boys.
Moms of boys work from son up to son down and then they go on line to escape

Have you ever thought about checking in the area that you live in to see if there is a foster grandparent program? I never knew anything like that existed until my daughter went into the headstart program.
This is how it works here. There are elderly people who are lonely that sign up for the program. They have no major health problems that can prevent participation in the program, and families or agencies (such as headstart) "adopt" a grandparent. One day a week, this foster grandparent would go to the headstart center.. or the family that adopted them could pick them up to spend the day with them. It is really a great program which benefits a child who needs a "grandparent" type person in their life, as well as benefits the elderly person, who really looks forward to getting out of their home and spending time with the family that adopts them.
You might check with the Dept of Human services or other social services agency in your area to see if such a program exists in your area.

Happy birthday to your daughter. I know how you feel. My mother inlaw did the same thing with her grandchildren. I made up my mind if I ever had grandchildren I would never hurt a child that way. I love my 3 grandchildren the same and treat them the same.
