I hate this one girl. Her grandparents died like 6 years ago, and now she literaly is trying to steal mine! She comes to all our family events (holidays, family reunions, etc.) and it's REALLY starting to bug me. I understand that she doesn't have grandparents, but that doesn't mean she can steal mine! Shes older than me, so I thought she'd get the picture. She comes and gets presents at christmas and my grandparents make me feel like I'm not enough. I have 2 other girl cousins and 1 boy cousin, and they feel the same way. How can I deal with this?

It's really depressing. Please don't say "oh get over it" because she tries to boss me around and acts like a babysittter just 'cuz shes a year older. And we have family events ALOT, so it's not something I can ignore very well. Please be nice about this because right now I'm literally crying just thinking about it.

I understand her wanting to be around us all, but she should not call her their "grandchild" because it's not true. She also doesn't say it in a joking way, she literally tries to be their grandchild.

She is the daughter of my grandpa's friend. Also, she is NOT invited because the only person who would think to invite her is my grandpa and he always seems surprised (and trust me, if he was acting, you could tell.)

I don't want to be totally mean, but I want her to get the picture.

Well someone invited her, she isn't just crashing your family gatherings. I would ask your grandparents what is going on and who is she to the family.
Oh and jealousy is an ugly thing.

Well somebody seems to be inviting her. She can't just instinctively know when these events are happening. She's lonely and your grandparents have accepted her. It's time you accept that fact. If they make her feel welcome at these events, so should you. She can't replace you as a granddaughter; your grandparents surely have enough love to go around. If she starts to boss you around or act like a babysitter, just don't let her.

Ok, maybe she just enjoy being around you all. you included. she finds in your family a foundation that she may be missing. Give it time your grandparents love you more and will love you more if you show her kindness.

Try to ignore her at family events. Tell you grand parents how you feel. Tell her to die so she can see her grand parents and leave you and the rest of the family alone!!!!
