Feel second best in relation to DIL other grandmother

Who seems to get to see the two grandchildren much more than we do, despite us offering multiple offers of help. Without saying too much in case of outing, I do feel particularly sad this morning. I know it’s a common problem, but I love those children so much and feel a bit as though I am considered to be second best. I sound sorry for myself which is annoying, and I do count my blessings, but just feel sad today. Be kind.

Different people, different dynamics, different relationships.

I always find score keeping to be not just odd, but unreasonable.

I don’t expect our future CIL to view us the same as their own parents, because we aren’t.
