How very sad sad I hope you can somehow get back on terms with them.

Seriously ? Take a long hard look at yourself, wobble your head and start over.

I wonder if this is a windup!
Why complain to us?
If it's real, it's sad but DGD doesn't hate you nana. She is mimicking the others.
If you go off in a huff you will make things worse.
You love those children so help them.

Have I woken up in a parallel universe? ?

This is going to get much worse if the parents are spending all their money on drugs Nana.

Assuming it is not a wind up!.

I think there’s a few problems here nanaof2, firstly you give them anything they want, Really! New toys etc, food as your son and his new partner spend all their money on weed!, not good role models are they, the five year old has got a mobile, she’s on snapchat and sent a video ranting at you as she hates you, what a mess, where’s the girls mum in all this? Is she aware that her ex and partner spend all money on weed, sorry you have depression and other health problems, I really feel for these children. Certainly not the way to parent

The 5 year old has a phone and knows how to use Snapchat?
Seriously? hmm

I think the problem is I give them anything they want.
Sorry to be harsh, but are you trying to buy their and your son's affection?. The more you give in, the more they will want. The situation will just get worse.
Those poor wee girls, their father spends all his money on weed and you have to pay for food. What a dreadful scenario.?

The 5 year old’s phone?

I am nana to two granddaughters of 3 and 5 years, I give them anything they want, every week they get new toys, go places and get clothes, and my son has shared care with his ex, and I even pay for food etc while he has them for 3 days because him and his new partner spend all their money on weed, the 5yr old's mobile phone broke last week so me and my partner bought her a brand-new one, my granddaughter sent me a picture of herself on Snapchat so I sent back an emoji love heart because she can't read properly yet, anyway a few minutes later I got a video from her screaming at me and telling me to stop chatting to her because she hates me and I've to stop annoying her.
Looking at her face it was clear she meant it her end words were get lost I mean it because I hate you.
I know she's only 5 but I have always had a very close relationship with them both.
I sent my son a text and told him to tell her to stop sending me abusive chats, and he said omg mum was that you she was shouting at I thought it was her big sister( who's not my gc) I'm sorry mum, but I know she meant it so I told my son none of them have to contact me again and I have blocked them all routes.
I also have very bad depression and other health problems and I am too weary for drama going on.
I do think she is trying to keep up with her big sister just to try and act like everything is a drama as girls do.
