[quote=Anonymous]Mothers and MILs will pick a favorite to make the kids and grandkids compete more the love and attention and money. I think that is evil. Rise above it. Accept it. Don't let it make you bitter. Remember how this feels so that when you a grandmother you don't play the same evil manipulative games.

I also agree with what one person suggested that perhaps the Sister 2 has a mental illness or she was abused in some way or has something over on your parents.

My cousin moved to LA and pursued an acting career. She then got pregant and has a child. In my grandmother's eyes this cousin and her child could do no wrong, even when they were never actually physically there. Her lifestyle in LA is supported by my grandparents and my aunt and uncle. My cousin is narcissistic. She also claims to have been the victim of childhood abuse, and maybe she is telling the truth. Still, she throws wild temper tantrums in public when she doesn't get her way. So, she gets her way a lot.

You either learn to give in to her early, or suffer the consequences of constant harassment, public humiliation and temper tantrums, or threats to tell people she is being abused.  [/quote]
