[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree if the grandparents are well adjusted people. [/quote]

My in laws now have 9 grandchildren and I am constantly amazed that, with each single one, they have the ability to develop a special and unique bond with each one.  The oldest is 9 and the youngest is 2 months.  They're wonderful and I intend on impressing upon my kids how lucky they are to have such loving grandparents (on both sides, actually).[/quote]

Yup I feel the same way- my kids are very lucky that their grandparents don't play favorites. That's awful.

And I'll say, I had very disfunctional grandparents on both sides (alcoholism and mental illness) but despite their many flaws, they never favored any of their grandchildren over the others. Grandparents who do this are really messed up.[/quote]

I think there is a huge difference between having a special bond and playing favorites. My mom has a special bond with my oldest because she spent a lot of time alone with him and they are a good got personality wise. But she loves all grandkids equally and has a bond with each. [/quote]
