To help put, grandparent can offer to pick up younger grandaughter from school one day a week and do something fun with her. These days it takes a village for a family to run smoothly.
Dear Lisi: One of my granddaughters is a top-notch basketball player; she even goes to a special school that allows her time to train with a coach. She practices seven days a week, and is often away on training programs, for tournaments and special events. Her mother, my daughter-in-law, has had to take a leave of absence from her work because of how much time she needs to be out of town with her daughter.
She’s loved by all, that’s not an issue, I just think she gets overlooked. How can I help? I certainly don’t want to overstep.You’re very thoughtful to notice that your younger granddaughter is getting lost in the shuffle. However, you can bet her parents won’t hear that as thoughtful. Rather, they’ll hear it as judgmental, and if there is any truth to it, they’ll become defensive. So, tread carefully.
Your extra efforts with your granddaughter will be helpful, won’t go unnoticed, but are also not out of the ordinary. Show your sister some love, support and generosity of spirit. You’re clearly more independent than she, and you sound stronger. Give her some of your strength by being there for her when she needs you.
