[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they haven't bonded yet, they aren't going to and your parenting probably played a big role.  I almost never see my sibling.  No interest.  They aren't nice to me and even worse when they are with our parents.  [/quote]

Same with DH. Narcissistic SIL and MIL are practically twins, joined at the hip (ie: codependent) and don't think or want to include anyone else, least of all DH and my kids. MIL plays favorites, and guess who is whom? Consequently, SILs kids can do no wrong, and our kids have caught on, all by themselves, without DH or I saying one word.  MILs superpower is the ability to "split" her offspring, and play favorites.  Good times. I don't think the offspring will ever care much for each other, and certainly not be close, even after (if??) MIL passes. I think the damage is done.

The best you can do is not play favorites, OP. [/quote]

+1 if your adult children don’t get along or have much of a relationship at all, it’s likely because you favored one over the others during their childhoods and probably still do. Naturally occurring personality differences among siblings can only explain so much.[/quote]
