No stewing no favoritism.
I just can't take care of a toddler for his own safety.
I was playing with them the other day. We had fun but I lasted all of 30 minutes before I was exhausted.
All of my friends my age are the same way with their toddler grandchildren, nieces, nephews.
I've said the kids can stay as long and as often as they like AS LONG AS A PARENT IS AROUND. Why is this hard to understand?
It is our duty as family members to make sure the youngest are safe.
Parents are human beings like everyone else. They can and should be judged on their behavior like everyone else.

No reason to be defensive. Im only responding to what you yourself said. You did not get tired when child one was a toddler? Child one needed a parent around while you babysat?
You clearly can't see how your very long explanation comes across. Don't know if you have children of your own but if you did or do you get to choose how you want to raise them. Other people do not. So respect that these parents have the right to raise their kids however they want. Nothing seems to rise to abuse so mind your own business.
Can't you understand that any parent who hesrs "i like both my nieces/nephews but can only make time to see one...the other us a huge hassle for me" is not going to love that? And if other kid is constantly whining about normal discipline and asking to live with the nice auntie who lets them get away with everything...also not winning you any points. I'd be putting my foot down too.
