[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this question is for grandparents or for families that don't live near grandparents or feel like their kids are always second to the other cousins

Our baby isn't here yet so I know that probably sounds crazy. Obviously they would love/be close to their grandchild of two years but recently two things have made us uncomfortable and feel like it's already setting the stage.

I will also say we don't live nearby and don't plan to live in the same state. We get a lot of hate for it but we feel like it's unfair for us to be the only ones to make that change and concession. Grandparents have already said they want to move closer to our nephew and even if we moved one state away ( they were previously interested in) it wouldn't matter. We know proximity wise they will be closer.

Grandparents asked us to hold off on decorating the nursery because they wanted to do it with us and they made a big deal about coming to help us get the place ready for baby ( due in 8 weeks) and at the last minute they cancelled and didn't give us a reason and we find out they are driving the 4 hours to nephews house for the weekend.  We didn't need to help but they were the ones who are it a big deal so we literally were just waiting and wanted to include them.

We also refer to this baby as buddy sometimes and they flat out said we already have a little buddy and won't be calling this baby buddy ever. We need to pick a new name. I just ignored them but seriously!?[/quote]
