[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the AC who doesn’t have/ want kids (also a teacher) and my sibling has them. It’s clear my parents prioritize time with him and his family and it’s really hurtful especially as I’ve gone through health problems. I understand them wanting a strong relationship with their grandkids (and I love my nieces and nephews) but it really hurts to feel like your parents value you less because you don’t have kids [/quote] I’m sure they love you and don’t value you less. But they have relationships with your nieces and nephews, too, and prioritizing the young is how animals survive. Even if they didn't prioritize them, if there are 2 grandkids, they are now splitting a finite amount of attention 4 ways, and 3/4 of that attention is at your brother’s house. It’s not that they don’t love you, but they love two other people as well as you. You can’t expect 1/2 their attention. [/quote]
