My dh has two sisters. Both are mollycoddled still my his parents, dh left to it. We have two kids ds and dd. Sister in law has one daughter. She is 2.5 and our dd is 6 months so she's been around for a while now! The other day at a family gathering my fil was cuddling sister in laws daughter and called her his bestest girl...in front of me holding our dd, his other grand daughter. Is it just me or is this just a bit cruel and really thoughtless? Fil always says and does things in this vein. My dh wasn't in the room at the time or I think he would have said something, although he generally lets it all go over his head and he's had it his whole life with his sisters blatantly being favoured. The next time something like this happens I would like to say something, without starting a full blown drama, how do you make your point without sounding like you're the one in the wrong about being annoyed about stuff like this?
