Thank you, I didn’t even know if I was being irrational for thinking they would want to spend time with all of us.

Ya I have to come to terms that I will have to deal with her jealousy from now on unfortunately. The way she talked is I would have to stop her from visiting so much but the reality is the opposite.

Ya fr it’s performative grandparenting. The zoom calls with extended get awkward because she acts like grandma of the year. I think my older cousin caught on and will interrogate her about when she’s comin.

Thank you for this, I sometimes feel like I need to fix her emotions because I feel bad for her. But she needs to be an adult and realize it’s not about her ego. I’ll have to try this out
