[quote=Anonymous]Will grandparents always favor the first born grandchild? Or their daughters children over their son's?

We are pretty close to DH parents. We talk every other day, we both make an effort to see each other every few months. Overall it's nice. They have confided in us that they have big problems with how sil is raising her toddler ( mainly the TV on 24/7 since he was born + they don't play with him or engage)

Recently on a call they were talking about moving near sil to be near their child after retirement. They don't want to miss any moments with this child and they want to be in his daily life.  This stung a bit because there is never a mention to be near us. Delivering next year. I told DH it's just because they haven't met this kid yet and they aren't bonded to them like they are sisters kid. Also maybe they feel it necessary to help out more because they feel like they need it?

DH thinks the first is always first. He said it was the same with his grandparents - he was the first and is definitely the closest and favorite grandchild [/quote]
