Competitive gran? 4yr old torn/coerced

Interesting responses including a reprimand for not following up a previous post. Apologies to those that decided it necessary to take a harsh response I did not have time to clearly explain the situation fully. Perhaps it was because I was stupidly feeling anxious, vulnerable and embarrassed. I will certainly think twice before posting again so thanks for helping me learn what to share in future.

Do you do stand-up.

Poor kid.

How kind of the other GM to invite you.
I think the title of your post is rather provoking - the word ‘coerced’ is so unnecessary.

I'm a bit troubled by the use of the word "coerc'd" which can have nasty connotations, usually for adult behaviour. .
I fail to see , in this situation , how anybody is coercing anybody else.
Surely this is about a very small child deciding that one person is "flavour of the month" as children do.
The other grandparents seem to be trying to engage with her. If they didn't they'd probably be accused of not being interested enough in the child.
I agree with the many wise comments about ways that you could get yourself out of the way and let the other Grandparents " have a go" so to speak.

Well TBF mrsbirdy we can only respond to what we've been told so if you didn't explain the situation clearly that's not our fault.

You didn't come across as feeling anxious, vulnerable and embarrassed if you had maybe the responses would have been different but for me, my advice to encourage your GD to include her other GP's in activities would have been the same.

I'm still not sure why you're staying there.
It's kind of them to invite you but, if they read this, it would probably be the last time you get an invite.

Sorry if that does sound harsh but this is all rather strange.
