Ok so 11 months ago by sister had a child, we will call him Theo. My parents had been waiting for grandchildren for a long time and Theo arriving was perfect for them, my sister lives 2 streets away so they see him all the time.
6 months ago, my partner and I had a child too, we will call him Hunter. My mother makes no effort to see him, whatsoever. I have phoned her asking when she is free but she's always busy with Theo. The only time she has had him is when we take him to her, about an hours journey for us there and an hour back. The few times she has had him or even called us and asked she calls him Theo.
I understand the distance means she will see theo more but she never makes time for hunter and cancels plans to see theo more often.
Anyway, to cut a very long story short, my partner and I have all our stuff in storage and are having to stay with my mother for 2 weeks. We were told not to bring a cot or high chair as she has them for when theo visits. Today I'm being told (seriously) my child, hunter, is going to have to sleep on the floor because theo is coming over for 4 nights and he needs the cot and every time theo has visited and we are feeding hunter, theo wants food so my mother lifts hunter out of the high chair and gives it to theo to eat.
How do I deal with this? My child needs to eat as much as theo and they could take turns eating. Also, if there was a chance of theo needing the cot, why tell us to pack ours? And now we have, why not take my sisters one from her house so that hunter isn't left with no bed?
Any advice would be great, even if you guys think I'm wrong here.
Tl;dr mother makes more time for my childs cousin and is currently taking things he needs for my childs cousin too
