its so upsetting , hope your little brother is ok xx

lorrilou

he is just so confused. It was like this before they split up. He is one mixed up kid (he's only 9), he just craves attention from his dad, which he never ever gets.

Hey cheeky carrie glad to hear you got out of that relationship but your poor eldest boy it seems to have affected him which I am sure it would any person poor thing. Is great you are taking him to see someone about controlling his anger that will hopefully really help him.

Parents are supposed to nuture not make their kids feel second best to one another but it is great that you and your new chap make up for this poor excuse for a dad humph!

lots of hugs sending your way xx

Lorrilou - not sure what to say hun if you have told your inlaws (or outlaws as I tend to call them) and they still don't listen there is really i guess nothing you can do unless you ask your oh to have a word with them? The only thing me and my sisters learnt from our dads grandparents not being involved in our lives was that they missed out on all the love we could have given them and I am sure your kids would love them unconditionally too and it is there massive loss to share in your kids development.
lots of to you too x

I agree totally spartacus, the age my kids are at the moment they are a pleasure to be around and they are totally missing out.

I suppose what bothers me the most is the blatentness of it all!! theres absolutely no need for it. i dont think they even know how old callum is!!!

Spartacus

more fool them then the stupid idiots!! Honestly speaking from experience they do wake up and realise one day-well mine just have! then they will realise how sad they have been - grrrr I hate favourtism it truly grates on me!!

Newt

Awww that is so sad, and dificult for you

I don't think I would be able to not say anything, I would have to have a dig at every oppertunity

lorrilou

i have got to the point where i have just given up on them, i dont make the effort anymore. they cant be bothered so i cant. whats pissed me off is the fact that the ignored nicole on her birthday! thats just unacceptable.

My own grandmother is like that, I know she loves us all, but she clearly favours my cousin. Myself and brothers and sisters make the most effort to see her and visit her every week, my cousin goes once in a blue moon and gets all the praise. They only visit her on birthdays to claim there presents. And if she's poorly or anything its us to the rescue and there no where to be seen.

Theres been a lot more goings on but its really annoying. And you do notice the favouritism as i am sure your kids will notice too in time.
