faith is 3 years old and has lost both of her great grandmothers (my side of the family) in 2 months and she is really down about this also there has been a family argument going on between me and my oh and his mother she was asked to treat her grandchildren (all my oh kids and my 2 i have with him) the same and apparently me saying this is completly out of order how i dont know but any way she keeps taking my oh oldest daughter out and spending a fortune on her and not getting the others anything or even taking them out as she wont come near us anymore but my poor little girl is getting so down about this she is having nightmares about it is really unsettled at play school and is starting to resent her sister as evey time she comes to visit us she tells faith about all the new things there grandmother has got her causing yet more tears and she is also so unsure and upset as to what is going on about her grandmothers she has lost she just seems so down and depressed i dont know what to do for the best as im fed up of seeing her so down :?

the things her sister does with so called grandma, are they special because it's grandma, or would you be able to make up for it by doing these things with her yourself.
i really like the idea of giving faith something that is just for her from her grandmas, as said sister cant compete with that. and it's like a special comfort hing as well
is there any way you could put it do grandma that means youre not telling her off for treating them differently but explain how it's such a special thing to have a grandma and you'd really like it if faith could enjoy it as much as sister does. just an after thought, it wouldn't be that the grandma is just better at dealing with a certain age of children would it? i know one of mine was quite happy to kneel on the floor and play cards with us whereas the other had a 'children's room'
really hope you're able to sort this out for your childrens and your own sake, thoughts are with you good luck
