[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this problem is that uncommon. I remember my own grandmother preferring the cousins. When they came to visit she would buy special treats. When we came to visit, she would literally tell us not to touch the special treats in the cupboard because they weren't for us, they were for the other grandchildren. I think my parents made a mistake in forcing the relationship when she clearly wasn't interested. It would have been better not to visit so often rather than coming to visit someone who clearly wished you weren't there and that the other cousins were. My mom favors my sister's kids because sis is a single mom and needs more help. Our kids are multiethnic/racial and this is more than my parents can handle. We are frostily polite on major holidays and that's sufficient. I think the lessons the kids would learn if we insisted on more would probably be harmful and painful.[/quote]
