[quote=Anonymous]There is 4 years between my older 2 and 8/12 years respectively between them and the youngest. It sounds like to me you are spending 1/1 time with the oldest every evening and on saturday mornings. It sounds like your dd is choosing to spend those hours doing things other than interacting with parents and then complaining she isn't getting enough time and whining to Gma about it. That's emotional blackmail. We both work as well and there really isn't enough time in the day to do everything you want. It's ok to take the little to do something outside of her skill level to make the older dd happy, but that also works in reverse. 
My little says she wants to do X with us but then sits there and procrastinates getting ready, watches tv, doesn't help do what needs to be finished before we can leave and then will complain "we don't do anything together". The reality is if she can't make it priority to do what's expected to help  make happen so we can do what she wants, it is not a priority to stop what I need to do, to make it happen either.
