Many of us on here are in the same position. It is unfair and I don’t think the parents have a clue how we feel. You could let them know without trying to make them feel sorry for you. You could explain how you’d like to be more involved with the children’s lives as they grow up so quickly. Keep showing an interest and be enthusiastic about what’s going on in their lives without seeming intrusive. It’s a fine line.

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.
