[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But why? There must be an obvious reason.

Just tell the family member the kids are a package deal.[/quote]

It plays out in many families. It doesn't mean there's a legitimate reason or any reason. [/quote]

Most families just accept it without confrontations. I'm surprised your dh is going to have a serious conversation. I'd expect a show of equality to follow and maybe a permanently soured relationship overall. Favoritism is unfair but its also ubiquitous since forever.[/quote]

Are you kidding? We call this having a broken normal meter. You accept a f'd up dynamic because you were clearly raised in one. It's not a reason to continue with abuse.

I wouldn't force the idea that the kids are a "package deal". I wouldn't force my non favored kid on an adult with such poor judgement. I'd work on the kids relationship with the cousins but try to minimize both kid's interactions with the adult with such poor judgement. [/quote]
