Dear Queenie,
My mother-in-law’s favorite grandchild is the oldest one, a girl, and she brags about her all the time and never mentions the others (there are four other grandchildren) at all.
The children have all noticed this and they even make jokes about it, but they feel hurt by it also.
Queenie, is there any way we can make Grandma understand what she is doing to her other grandchildren?—The other kids’ mothers
Dear Mothers,
Your mother-in-law’s own children should get together and have a talk with her about how her behaviour affects all her grandchildren, and that it cannot really be good for “Grandma’s pet” either, in the long run.
Meanwhile, all the other grandchildren have their parents, their other grandparents and each other for support.
