[quote=Anonymous]I have seen this type of favoritism by grandparents in my own culture, particularly when there are lots of grandchildren. For example, my grandparents took care of me when I was one years old and lived with them for 2 years. So I was in effect my grandmother's last "child." My grandfather favored his only two grandsons that carried on his last name. Plus, they had 17 grandchildren over their 7 kids. OTOH, my ILs only have 4 grandkids (2 from their one son and 2 from my DH), and I would say that my MIL prefers her other two over ours. I have heard her ooh and aah over her one other granddaughter's pic (even trying to show me pics on her phone) while making comments about while my DD looks like their side, my DS looks nothing like them. I believe that it's b/c her other grandkids are fully white, while ours are only half white.[/quote]
