[quote=Anonymous]MIL definitely prefers and coddles the SILs, which has not helped them at all in life. They seem to expect preferential treatment in the outside world, which is not realistic, clearly. It carries over to the grandchildren (awful, uninvolved parent=awful, uninvolved grandparent). The grandchildren see this before long, to the favoring grandparents' detriment. In my own family, it happens to be similar: the most helpless are coddled, inevitably becoming more helpless. Parents, do NOT do this to your children. It has awful repercussions, moreso for the favorite child/ren. As for DH and me, we have done well in spite of the treatment, it did us a favor. But I would never say it is a good thing, especially for the helpless/coddled/favorite one/s. I don't think the parents who are guilty of this ever see the forest for the trees, unfortunately.
