[quote=Anonymous]I'm an only, but my ILS have always favored my SIL's kids over ours. It doesn't have to do with distance - we actually lived closer. I call my MIL regularly, we stop by to see them. I think it was because they were far more involved in SIL's family's day to day life: they were often over there doing her laundry, driving her kids, fixing their cars, etc. They are the "needier" family, no doubt, in that they have never really been independent from my ILs. But it was still very frustrating when it was obvious that SIL's kids got way more attention - ie invited for sleepovers, taken out for their birthdays, allowed to bring friends to the GPs house, and when my kids asked for time with them, were told, "Oh, sorry, the other grandkids are coming..." The other grandkids had regularly scheduled visits - my kids were not part of the schedule.

Their maternal gps had both passed, so it was sad, and very obvious to my kids that they were always the second choice or afterthought when it came to DH's parents. :([/quote]
