[quote=Anonymous]We had this with my in-laws for my spouse and our children being the non-favorite. We tried at first to set up a monthly Sunday dinner to create a connection, but were rebuked. We thought they liked "feeling needed" (by the other sibling) so asked for help with care a few times (so they'd spend time with our kids even if we still got no time). That didn't work either. Eventually they told us flat out that the other family is their priority. At that point - we just took the hit and had to move on emotionally. It had been going on for 6 years and to be honest, I appreciated knowing where we stood - even though it was a pretty awful thing to say to your child/grandchildren, it helped us step back and stop trying to create/maintain a bond-level that they were never interested in having.
