[quote=Anonymous]My ILs spent a lot of time focusing on SIL's kids (girls) and ignore mine (boys).  I understand in part because our relationship is good and their family life is awful -- terrible dad, neglectful SIL, divorced -- but it still gets me sometimes.  We each visit the same amount of time (1 week per year) and to this day MIL always tells me to bring a lot of toys because she "only has girl toys."  I mean, really?  I understand not having any toys at all if you only see the grandkids 1 week per year, I wouldn't mind that, but to only buy toys for the OTHER grandkids is a bit over the top.  Why not buy unisex toys that would appeal to both?  Luckily DS is not afraid to play with butterfly wing costumes sometimes.

We invite them to our beach vacation, holidays etc. but they always spend holidays with the other grandkids because "they feel sorry for them."  That's fine but don't complain when my boys are a little shy around you - they never see you!  What do you expect?!?![/quote]
