[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know numerous families with a dynamic where the parents provide disproportionate attention/childcare/money to their most screwed up child (and the grandchildren in that household), and don’t even try to hide it because they’re confident that their other children are doing just fine and that everyone recognizes that the most screwed up kid needs the most help. OP, the silver lining here is that your parents view you as a competent adult.[/quote] I know what you mean, but this is different. OP’s sister sounds like a functional adult with a good job, and the niece sounds like a regular well adjusted kid. The only mark against her is the divorce, which can happen even when people aren’t screwed up. If I was the brother facing high medical bills for my child, it would piss me off to see my parents going out of their way to provide a luxury to my sister’s child while offering nothing to my sick child.
