[quote=Anonymous]My dad and stepmom have been married for 20+ years. She refers to my kids as her grand kids. My kids consider her one of their grandmothers. They adore her and love spending time with her. Ever since my stepmom had her first biological grand child last year she never seems to have time for my kids. So many times we'd invite her and my dad over for dinner and she'd be an hour late because she was visiting with her grand daughter. This despite the fact that she lives only a couple of miles away from my step sister and never goes more than 2 days without seeing them or babysitting for them. Gone are the Sunday afternoons when they'd go for a visit with my dad and stepmom because she was up the night before acting as a night nurse so my step sister and brother in law could sleep. She's been promising my girls a sleep over for months, like they used to do, and hasn't followed through. I've run out of excuses when they ask when it is going to happen. We've basically stopped bothering inviting them over or to do things with us because of all the late arrivals or excuses for my stepmom not being able to because she's with the baby.

I was worried the dynamic would change once my stepsister's baby was born but I hoped it wouldn't be so bad or it would be short term. But it's just getting ridiculous and makes me so mad.[/quote]
