[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 527437, member: 9177"] She is very attached to her grandmother (my mother in law). I totally understand that - mother in law has always been a strong, loving influence in her life. I'm the evil stepmom, biomom can't take care of her, but grandma is always there. HOWEVER, she has to share grandma with 6 other grandkids, all of whom are around quite a bit, and she does NOT like that. She is INCREDIBLY jealous of her cousins/siblings in this regard, even though my mother in law is really good about treating everyone fairly. I keep trying to tell her that it's not all about her, that when grandma says something positive about another grandkid it is NOT a slam on her, etc etc ad nauseum - ugh! It's so exhausting to deal with, to the point that I want to check out on family functions because difficult child is so distracting and annoying. Like tonight we're having a family dinner, and difficult child has already started going on about going over there early so she can set the placecards so SHE sits next to grandma. This jealousy issue of hers is so frustrating. [/QUOTE]
