grandparents favouring one granchild

I have no idea why, it could be because they are the 1st Grandchild. My Grandmother did the same thing with us - my cousin was her 1st Grandchild (from her favourite son) & she has always had everything with my Grandma. I ended up giving up on bothering with her, it just wasn't worth the hassle really. I hated being from the family she liked less than the other, now i have a daughter of my own & she seems to fake an interest in her, from now on, i can see that the interest will be even more fake - my cousin (her favourite grandchild) has just had a daughter as well so we all know that she'll not only play favourites with her Grandkids but now also her Great Grandkids. I have nothing to do with her - well, as little as possible because i don't like that she does more for 1 than the others. Also, what made it worse is that my brother is her only Grandson & that never seemed to make a difference, even when he was drafted in to the AFL (Australian code of football) she went & saw her favourite son before visiting her other son (my dad) to congratulate my brother for his success. I think it's just they have a favourite child & that usually means their favourite Grandchild will be one of their kids - usually their first!

Yes.. my parent in-law total have 3 grandchildrens. Like my mother in-law she like her 2 elder grandchilds ( her daughter's childrens) she will buy them clothes, foods, toys, opened a bank account for them and every month she will bank in for them but not for my daughter. My father in-law will give everything to my daughter but not the other grandchilds. I also don't why these 2 old people doing that. I feel both of my parent in-law have old fashion thinking. How about you?
