Every year for the last 4yrs we’ve taken various of our Grandchildren on holiday . This year was 4 Children last year only 2. It was a bonus that all four came . My S& D Children. Omg I have no idea what’s going on here. First off my Daughter calls her Brother re safety at sea as she had let her two girls play in the sea when there was an undercurrent the week before . In all the years we’ve taken the children there have been no problems, my husband supervises & they all know to stay within the flags , not that they are on their own as they are always with us both . This was a major issue for her & I understand. However it was never ever mentioned to me directly, only in a family WhatsApp group. To which I responded they were always supervised .
Issue 2
The same D telephoned the GC not once but two, three times a day . . Don’t get me wrong ,I wasn’t not wanting her to speak to them just not all the time . They were away with us & perfectly fine , we sent whattsapp photos all the time & telephoned. It got to the point where I ignored calls. Added to this they’d been given an iPad & unbeknown to us were calling home constantly!
Issue 3
My Husband was asked by SIL if I “ favoured my DS child over my DD Two !
DD & SIL came to collect GC at the wkend . It was cringeworthy. We had left the beach for a stroll to the shops when they arrived my DS was on beach but they just left him in search of us . Like they could just wait for us to return .
It’s getting so that it’s uncomfortable. If I ask one child something & not the other DD will jump in if I praise one child or comment the children seem to be programmed to defend each other by saying things like “ it’s ok if she’s vegetarian , people can be vegetarian “ when I’ve just said we have vegetarian sausages for instance . That may not sound a lot to worry about but it’s a constant round of things like this .It seems like the GC are questioned about who/ what/ where etc & I seem to be watching what I say , not that I say anything untoward. My DS on the other hand is more laid back . Though he is also here he joined us only for a few days as his holiday is a few miles away .
I think my DD has a FOMO for her Children. If anything I favour the eldest a teenager who wasn’t with us that week but is now .
The whole thing upsets me as I feel I can’t say or do anything .
Does anyone else experience this type of thing ?
