When your own grandmother, when asked to take a pic with her first great granddaughter, declines because “she doesn’t look good today”. That sucks. This happened a couple hours ago and I’m still pretty miffed over her saying that. Sure I should be used to her favoring the boys in the family (her sons, her month older than my daughter great grandson, and now apparently her soon to be new great grandson - in case you didn’t realize yet, all the boys) but I guess I’m not. Plus she didn’t even once try to hold her.

Oh well. I’m just thankful that my mom vowed to never be like her mom when it comes to the kids (my sister and I and now her granddaughter). She knows first hand how it sucked growing up feeling like her and her sister were not the “special ones” compared to her two brothers.

Oh and might I add. She told me tonight that “I’m spoiling her”. My mom had my sister, her husband, my husband, and my grandma over at my parents house for late Christmas dinner. My sister was trying to cheer up my daughter when she said to me that I’m spoiling her. When I asked her how she said something along the lines “I give her attention.” WHAT?!? so I said what do you mean? She replied with, “she fusses and she knows she will get me to give in and basically “respond to her”. Again, WHAT?!?

What I wanted to say to her is, “then how are you spoiled (because my great grandma apparently didn’t give her the love and attention when growing up)? She is an only child however I should say.
