...this to an end. Please!? My mother in law has 3 grandchildren. Two are by her daughter aged 10 & 1. One is by her son & myself aged 7 mos. She chooses favorites and lets it be known. She works nights as a nurse but goes to my husbands sisters house and watches her 1 yr old all day for free and complains to us that she is always tired and it takes up all of her time. She always buys his sisters daughters new toys and clothes and never buys our doughter anything. Whenever we do get together all she ever does is talk about how her other grandchildren are. She will occasionally add in how she thinks our daughter is a cute baby, but thats it. This is the only grandma my daughter has around and I am desperate for them to have a relationship I don't know how to address this to her. Please help!
 
i wouldn't be too upset at this point. that baby doesn't know she's being left out. hopefully when she gets older, gramma will straighten up. as your baby grows older, she'll develop more of a personality, and maybe that's what gramma responds to.
 
It's only because she spend so much time with the other grand-kids. We all tend to talk more about and pay more attention to the people we spend the most time with.
