[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she favors SIL kids. Totally, totally common. There is research out there about maternal grandparent investment in grandchildren and how it far outstrips the investment in a son's children. From a biology perspective, a grandmother is only certain that her daughter's children belong to her bloodline.[/quote] This is not true at all in my case. My mother bends over backwards to help my brother out and never says no to him (we all live here so its not a distance issue). I have stopped asking her to watch my kids because it seems she is always watching theirs when I need her. I don't think it's a preference thing though...I think she is trying so hard to make my SIL happy so that she will like her. They are very different people (both perfectly wonderful in their own way but very different). At least with me, she knows I'm stuck with her:) I'm lucky to have a MIL who is very helpful and DH is an only child.[/quote]
