[quote=Anonymous]I’m one of your children in this scenario and it still happens when I visit my family (different state) and I’m almost 49 yo. In my case, I think it happens because they’re trying to compensate for the other grandchildren (my cousins) - my brother and I grew up in a home where our parents are still married (no step-parents, half siblings, step-siblings), no drug/alcohol issues, very successful professionally and because of that, didn’t have the same daily struggles, so my grandparents (particularly my maternal grandmother) wanted to highlight the good things going on in my cousins’’ lives. I now understand that, but growing up I felt that I couldn’t do anything well enough to receive any acknowledgement. [/quote]
