You are not being unreasonable in any way. I can identify with this - got the T-shirt. I have 3 AC - my 2 sons are open and fair, my daughter hurts me time and time again yet I come back for more because I adore her and her 2 ch. She is dominated by her dad (my ex) who 'books' time with her so far in advance that I would now need to start on 2023. He was always manipulative and now it's with her. I have always had an open door policy and try not to put pressure on but it definitely means I lose out. It's not even as though I expect things to be totally fair and equal. That would be too controlling for all.
She's intelligent and capable but never seems to give a thought for my feelings even though I have always been there for her and the children at the drop of a hat. She once said to me "We will do what suits us" and it cut me to the quick.
I wouldn't cut down on your babysitting as it will decrease time with your GC which would be sad.
I have ended up feeling all I can do is put up and shut up because whenever I have ever attempted to discuss anything with her it always makes things worse for a while.
I think there are lots of folk here who are making excuses about AC being busy. They are but they should still behave with consideration for others - there is no excuse for not doing that.
Suggestions of doing other things are simply stop-gaps or sticking plaster. The underlying sadness is always there.
Sorry - this sounds like a ramble but it's pretty raw from where I am standing.
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
