[quote=Anonymous] I think before you start feeling sorry for yourself you areally have to see it where she's coming from. Strained relationship with her son/ your husband? Maybe not local? That'll do it. I don't mind at all that my MIL is closer to the older grandchildren than to my children. I married into the family much later than the other spouses, and unlike them we are not local so there's a double reason for why she cannot bond as much (plus, she's getting old). She actually took care of her first grandchild when he was born, for the first year of his life! Even now he's an adult, he is her favorite, and of course I understand that. It doesn't mean Grandma doesn't love your children, or mine. Elderly folk only have that much energy to give, and it makes sense that the kids who get most bonding time through being born earlier or being local or without estranged parents, will be given pride of place.
