To be hurt by MIL's favouritism

[Sendo]

We have just got home from having spent a few days with our respective families. There are 4 GC altogether of comparable ages so why does MIL spend three times as much on 2 of her GC. O.K, the kids didn't notice in all the excitement of opening everyone's presents en masse but due to past form, I was sad to discover that my suspicions were right.

I have to admit that it does colour my feelings towards her and I definitely feel less generous in thought and action over the years and I have known her for 20+ yrs. However, I am very much saddened by it. Not sure whether to mention it to DH (again) who is more oblivious about these things but then he's accustomed to being not thought about over his siblings.

FiL favours DD1, and barely tolerates one grandson. This Christmas dd1 was presented with a laptop, dd2 a pencil case ( which I suspect he picked up near the till whilst paying for the computer) and my nephew for nothing.
Jesus it was uncomfortable.

My Grandmother always favoured my elder brother & 2 cousins. My younger brother and I were always at the bottom of the heap & we knew it. It was rotten & growing up it took me until adulthood to realise that the fault was hers, not mine. (My younger brother and I used to secretly call her Grandbag! )
