[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think it may have more to do with the fact that the older children are her daughter's -- I see this in my family, although there are some other reasons that play into it (my sister-in-law is not the warmest person in the world and has raised 3 rude children who are also not very warm). My brother and his wife started having children about 16 years before I had my son. Their grandmother (our mother) was obviously much younger and everyone lived within a 20 minute drive and still do. She of course loves her grandchildren but there was a marked difference when my son was born a couple years ago, and my mother even admits this to me. She is now 75, and we actually live a bit further than my brother, but she is just so in love with my son. I think it has to do with me being the baby in the family, but also think it has to do with the fact that I am her daughter. I have an older sister who also has a son who's in his early 20's and she is also much closer with him than with my brother's children. [/quote]

I agree that it may have something to do with the fact that the older/favored children are the daughter's.  I definitely see this in my family.  [/quote]

My MIL even told me once:"You will always have special relationship with your daughter"...[/quote]
