Sometimes I wonder how DH's eldest daughter deep down can handle the fact that SGS, her son, so obviously adores the woman she has despised for so many years, her step-mom that is me LOL

Initially she refused to allow SGS to call me Grandma and that was totally 100% fine with me, she received not only zero resistance to that from me, but I myself began referring to me by name to SGS and then boom - as soon as I thought that was all settled and done and she could see I was completely onside with not being Grandma to SGS, she suddenly starts referring to me as Grandma to step-grandson!????

Then she says and does all sorts of things that make it abundantly clear she is pasing SGS against me, trying to use him to hurt me, and generally just trying to stir up shit as usual

As always, I keep a calm cool and non-confrontational head. I go along with everything not reacting to anything she does, making sure not to pursue a relationship with SGS, but always responding well to when the child wanted to be around me.

Now, he is almost four and just won't leave me alone whenever we are in the same space a real cutie who even DH gets sort of jealous of how much SGS prefers to be with me

DH's daughter is not as obviously pasing SGS now, but she still doesn't seem to be encouraging a relationship either.

I saw a recent picture DH took of when we were all together. SGS was 'whispering a secret' in my ear his newest faze LOL, and DH had snapped a pic of his daughter next. The look on her face in the picture....it was almost disbelief on her face.

So I wonder, is she in total disbelief that her precious wonderful child who is not a mommy's boy at all, clearly loves me and wants to be around me?

Must be a hard pill for her to swallow
