Grandparents and family members!!!!

I do know how that goes. I have a disabled son, and he is treated like he isn't even there most of the time. If he gets to play, I have to do it, they have a swimming pool and trampoline and I have to lift him into and onto them by myself. It doesn't matter that he tells them he wants to do it. They just ignore him. It makes me so mad. They treat his brother so good. They bend over backwards for him. It drives me crazy. My son is disabled physically and I don't know why they think they can ignore him and not let him have fun too.

My in-laws are like that. My husband's sister has 2 kids , both girls and are 2 years apart. Last summer they came up here and picked up the oldest girl and took her back to Virginia Beach where they live for the summer. I think that's alot like favortism and imagine how that makes the other child feel. They seem to do this with their own children to. As a mother I don't understand how you can choose between children. It's not right..

I feel that all kids should be treated equally also. I don't see this in my family...I have four wonderful children, we live long distance from the rest of our family. I don't see the difference so much with my four kids it's how they are treated compared to the other cousins. I do understand that they don't see each other as much but when my parents to come to visit us they usually always bring one of the others grandchildren with them which takes away from our four. And I feel that when they do get to see my kids that they should get some attention. It's hard when the older 2 feel this.

I have noticed favoritism of grandchildren, etc in my family. My mother favors my sisters kids. To tell you the truth, she knows very little about my boys. It doesn't bother me anymore, as I know when they are old enough, my boys will realize the type of person their Grandmother is. They always ask when she will visit, etc. She only sends a gift card for their birthdays. They will know one day that she is materialistic and not very loving. take a deep breath, and move past it. You give your children the love they need, and don't worry about others. If they don't have time for one of your children, don't allow them time with the other either. Tell them that until they can evenly distribute their affections to both children, they can't see either.
