favoritism

[Mandy]

My son is the only grandchild my parents have, so i have never had the experience, but it must be aweful for any mom to watch her kids being left out!!

Well, from another angle, I am my grandmother's favorite granddaughter. I am the oldest granddaughter and the daughter of my grandmother's only daughter. I have always heard that grandmothers in particular are closer to their daughter's children than their son's kids. This is because their sons children belong to "another woman" while your daughter's children are like an extension of you. Anyway, my grandmother has always favored my brother and I and I think my uncles have been bothered by it. Their daughters were not around my grandma like I was. I have always lived close to her and they were always far away. She is legally blind and I would take her everywhere. I talk to her everyday and they NEVER call her. So how can they expect to be loved the same? My grandmother plays the lotto every day for my husband and I. She says she is going to buy a house for us and practically give us all the prize money. I can just imagine the scandal that would cause in my family.
