[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your sibling say?  My mom is a narcissist  and I’m not the favored one,  but my sibling caught on to the behavior. I would try to talk to your mom before cutting her out because it can be traumatic for people to see family relationships end abruptly (ask me how I know).[/quote]

Sibling definitely knows/agrees mom is a narcissist and knows they are the golden child. We’ve talked at length about this. We have not talked about this playing into the grandchildren however. [/quote]

OP, your mum won't change and as you have not yet addressed this 7 years in, you are now in danger of damaging your child's sense of self esteem if this goes unchecked.

Either limit time with your mother and address this publicly every time she does it, or hand it to your sibling to deal with. I mean that. In her role of golden child- she has to be the one to speak out for any hope MIL will edit herself a bit. It won't mean anything or be valued/verified unless it comes to her directly from your sibling. You are at least lucky your sibling acknowledges this and has discussed it with you. Why would you not have talked about this with sibling already? This is in your hands.[/quote]
