[quote=Anonymous]And I feel horrible about it!  I love my older grandson more than life itself.  I cared for him for the first two years of his life - as an unpaid nanny, I suppose - while my DD and SIL were at work.  Then for the next three years, I picked him up from daycare/school once a week at noon and hung out with him thru dinner.  This beautiful new grandchild is happy, easy and so beautiful — but my feelings just aren’t there after six months.  I put on a show for DD but I’m really starting to worry about it!

I don’t want to give up my time once a week with my grandson and don’t have another afternoon to give to my granddaughter (I went back to teaching).  When I see a notification on my phone that there are new pictures in the shared album, I am disappointed when they are pics of my granddaughter and not my grandson.

And I am a typical American mutt so no cultural hanguls about boys being more valuable.  I just am so close to my grandson.

I could only admit this on a anonymous forum.  Even my DH doesn’t know how guilty I feel.  [/quote]
