I have 5 grandchildren 12 10 9 2 and a new born. The problem is the 10 and 9 year old which are both girls and cousins are not getting along .one of the girls behaver is very odd although she is 9 years old she acts like a two year old constantley crying throwing herself on floor wanting to sit on her mums knee wont even put on her own clothes has to be dresed. Taken to toilet and when she visits our home she will not listern to her mom or us as her grandparents .she throws herself on floor and crys if our other grandaughter is playing or doing something she wont share and she has to be in charge of the game if not she tells her mom that our other grandaughter is mean to her or swore at her or even stole money out of her mothers purse and blamed our other grandaughter .if i try to tell her off her mum says we have favourate grandchildren which we dont we love all our grandkids .she wont eat the meals we make and her mum ends up giving her something completly diffrent she also takes hours to eat its like she wants everyones attention all the time weve tried to spend time with just her but she just screemed and cryed all day saying her cousin is alowed to be naughty which she isnt but as my other grandaughter lives with me she went in her room and destroyed it saying it wasnt her and her mum beleaved her. Weve tried to speak to her mum but she wont have anything said about her daughter who also has a 2 year old who is starting to behave the same .our daughters parenting skills are very bad. She very rarley cooks a meal constant take aways She is a single parent and beleaves we should help her pay for her kids as we have other grandkids to pay for.she get benefits to help her with kids and me and her father work and get no financial help for other grandkids .and because her kids have no father in there lives she says the girls shouldnt be disciplined as there is only her to tell them off .but she doesnt .i know she is very jealous that two of our grandchildren live with us but we had no choice in the end but to raise them .we spend the same anount of money on all grandkids on all grandchildren for birthdays and christmas but i know my daughter checks how much each child has got its becoming very expensive as i cant even buy the two grandchildren were raising .a school uniform as we have to buy other grandkids.clothes two ..in not saying the 10 year old grandaughter is an angel as she isnt and she will argue with her cousin but when both girls are at my home its unbarable.the 9 year old constantley cry and lies and acts like she is 2 years old leaving the 10 year old to scared to say or do anything incaes her auntie starts blaming her for her cousins behaver.its not fare making the 2 grandkids go to there friends or one of us either me or my husband having to go out with the 2 grandkids just because the 9 year old is coming just to have some peace .the 9 year old has no friends at home at school as everyone says she acts like a baby crying at everyone if she doesnt get her own way.other children do not like my grandaughter..my 9 year old grandaughter turned up at the other grandaughters ballet lesson and when i went to pick her up the 10 year old had been sent outside i thought she had been naughty only to find out later the teacher was told that the 10 year old was picking on her cousin and my 9 year old was sat on the teachers knee crying saying she had been bullied only to find out by other parents and children that she was telling lies now the 10 year old wont go back to class even thought her cousin only went a couple of times.her mom only sent her there to be ackward as they were loads s of diffrent dance schools she could of gone two and its very sad as my 10 year old had been attending sice she was 3 I just want the family to be able to spend time together without the grandaugter spoiling for everyone else .my other daughter wont come to my house if her 9 year old niece is there she waits till she gone home and she isnt jealous of her niece and nephew .and understands we love all our grandkids and will do what we can for all of them
