[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents prefer whichever grandchild is behaving the best, performing the best, and is nicest to them. [/quote] In our case, it's sort of this and also sort of how much a grandchild reminds them of most- or least-favored children. My sibling had the first grandchildren, and they are twins. One is very much like my sibling (the perfect child) and the other is very much like my sibling's spouse, who proves that there's always someone who'll marry you. My kids are all treated well and are all pretty well behaved and are all treated well, but the middle kid can be difficult in ways that remind me of my brother, who is/was our mom's favorite. My mom also cuts my difficult kid a lot of slack; I don't know if she just has more tolerance for his particular brand of nonsense or if my kid is benefiting from transferred favoritism. [/quote]
