[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this instance, you probably have to let it go.  Perhaps in the future they will do something special for your children.

But in the big picture, I COMPLETELY understand.  My IL's often do things with my SIL and her children that seems to cry favoritism.  Whether that is true or not, who knows.  [b]If have been told before that many MILs feel closer to their daughters children than their sons.[/b]  I cannot imagine that at this point in my life, but I guess it is a real thing.  But regardless of the showing of favoritism- time, money, travel plans, phone calls, facebook messages, etc - the real issue is that my children are getting substantially "less" of their grandparents than their cousins are.

At this age (4 & 1)- they have no clue.  But at some point they will.  And they will ask questions. Its far too noticeable.  And then what do you say.  How do you explain to a child that Nana loves them just as much as Darla.. even though it looks like she loves Darla more. [/quote]

That is such BS.  A good Mil is a good MIL, who treats all of their children equally.  Maybe not the same, but it should all come out in the wash, so to speak.  What kind of person lets one child feel worse than the other by providing more for one than another?  That is an awful human being right there.  In fact, when there is favoritism, I always get the impression that the awful MIL must have been an awful mother.
