[quote=Anonymous]Is this a thing? I see it in my husband's family. DH is 64, his sisters are 57 and 51. They all seem to compete against each other for MIL's approval and affection. MIL is in her 90s. It goes beyond the 'normal' things that loving children would do for their parent. Telling each other how much they do for her and posting pictures on the family group chat. Who bought her the best present and who made the best cake, etc. It always feels like a competition. My mom had 4 siblings (3 boys, 2 girls). They never appeared to outwardly compete with one another for their parents' approval, from what my mom told me. Admittedly this was a different generation. They grew up in the 1950s an 60s. Same in my dad's family (1 girl and my dad, being the baby of the family).[/quote]
