Hi happymamma
Interested to know what you mean by step grandparents....do you mean the new partner of your chuldren's dad?
Hi Louise
Sorry for the late reply x My daughter has a baby 10 weeks old her and her partner are great parents but his stepmother is the steriotypical evil one.
My daughter and partner decided she was not going to be given a grandparent title (nanna ect) The reason for this was babies daddy lost his mum just before he became a teen and the new step mother came in and took over within months. She has never been nice to him and she is a real control freak.
She is now calling herself grandma not that she bothers with our little man and makes snide remarks to my daughter - she text her the other days saying can she go round saturday if shes not too busy shopping!!! The baby cried everytime she goes near him and to top it all when they take lil man to see his great grandma (daddies mums (the one who passed away) mum she makes snide remarks again and says i will ring you in half an hour and you wont ignore my call.
Another one when my daughter went round (instead of 'shopping') and her partner was not there the baby cried and she told my daughter to go home.
I have not stuck my nose in yet but she really does give step parents/grandparents a bad name.
RANT OVER x
That sounds horrible, your poor daughter. Thank heavens she has you and all the rest of the family! My experience of step grandparents is they are generally very supportive. it sounds like a "power" thing with this lady, do you agree?
I do agree, babies granddad is lovely but hen pecked. My daughter not like me I would have said something. I have said to her if she does something like that again maybe she be polite but say something.
I think she hates the fact my daughter and grandson live with me I support them and help out without sticking my nose in
Im having him today all day as my daughter is going out with her partner and friends - she didnt want to go but i have reminded her life does not stop when a baby arrives and you accept any offers of help.
The best bit is as Im a young nanny I take him out and people think he is mine x
good for you!!
Wow, what a lovely brood you have, happy mamma matriach! No grandchildren for me yet. I had my daughter at 22 and I have told her that I want at least 10 years of my life to myself, childfree before she is allowed to have my grandchildren!
