[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk with your mom and ask her to encourage them to be polite to everyone. They need to say hello to each person, and if someone wants to join their game with Grandma they need to include them. They need to say goodbye when each person is leaving.

It sounds like you've got a great mom and this will be an easy conversation and she'll be open to it. [/quote]

So the kids actually are very polite (thank goodness) - they say hello, give [insert relative/friend's name here] a hug, say good-bye, etc.  They include others in their game, and have actual conversations with them. They also have weekly Skype calls with my MIL/FIL, SIL (husband's sister), my brother, and my parents. I've got them on a schedule, and I try to keep the time equal. But that's another thing - they could talk for an hour with my mom, but can barely fill up 10 mins with anyone else.

So it's more that it's very obvious who the favorite is - they want to sit next to my mom at dinner, want her to fix their plates, sit on her lap on the couch afterwards, want her to read the bedtime story, want her to brush their teeth (!), etc. etc.  You get the drift. Everyone else pales in comparison, lol.

But yeah, she is without question, great. Just don't know how to avoid hurt feelings. Especially DH's. [/quote]
