We have a beautiful 7year old step granddaughter and a 2 month old grandson.
Our granddaughter has a birthday coming up that will be celebrated at her father's house. Due to the young age of our grandson I was asked if we would mind watching our grandson while my daughter in law and son take our granddaughter to her b day party. Of course I said yes.
Now all the sudden I find out grandpa , my husband has been invited to go to the party. They would love for him to come while i sit home and watch our grandson.
Is it wrong of me to be a little upset by this ?

Oh, don’t be upset. Look on it as deliverance! We just went to our youngest granddaughter’s birthday party last week, came home and both fell asleep with exhaustion. I don’t really know why, just 10 four year olds rushing around for 2 hours. They are entrusting you with a precious little baby- I would be totally flattered.

I would be so pleased having one to one with a new grandchild and mummy & daddy must have so much faith in you to have you babysit their precious bundle.

Your Step-Gdaughter will be the centre of attraction as she should be, if baby was there everyone would be "clucking" over baby and the shine taken off the little girl,parents have made a good decision enjoy your time with the new baby
