[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think parents find it easier to babysit the grandkids of their daughters than their sons. It is because daughters and moms share similar parenting styles.  I have see MILs take care of their DILs kids, but this was in the way of sharing the same house or the DIL relying exclusively on MIL for daycare.

Also, all babies are individuals and your ILs are older people. Maybe they find your SILs kids less fussy, easier to take care of, less exhausting? You do not know what give and take is happening between your SIL and MIL.  [b]Let it go.[/b] [/quote]

I know this is the answer, but HOW? It's been simmering for a year.[/quote]

You just have to. Maybe they don't want to watch the other grandkids but feel pressured to do so. Maybe they have girls who are easy and you have rambunctious boys. Doesn't matter. Life isn't fair. You aren't being fair to ask for free babysitting. Find a neighborhood girl who you really like to call for daye nights. [/quote]

We do have several nice neighborhood girls who babysit. That's not a big deal. It's more just the blatant favoritism. But I guess some of you think there is nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
