Grandma tells 40-year-old mom she likes her 4-year-old daughter more than her 3-year-old daughter: 'She didn't see anything wrong with saying that she preferred one of them.'

Even if you do prefer one grandchild over the other, you should never tell their mother that.

None of us likes to think of ourselves as someone who would rank other people in their head. But come on, we all do it. We all have a favorite sibling with whom we like to hang out more than the others. We have best friends, friends, and acquaintances. It's okay to feel closer to one person than another, and depending on the situation, it's okay to spend more time with someone you're closer to. The situations where it's not okay to do so involve parents and children. One parent might be the one who takes their kid to their baseball games because they like it, but that doesn't mean they should never support their other kids and their passions. It doesn't matter if they like baseball better than the sports their other kids play. It doesn't matter if a parent secretly likes one kid more than the other. That's not a good excuse to ignore their other kid. Parents should be aware of their biases towards their children so that they can correct them.

The grandma in this story has a favorite granddaughter for one simple reason: she is a better communicator who connects with her more. Now that she has the chance to buy her grandkids a plane ticket to their uncle's wedding, she only wants her favorite to come.
Am I the bad guy for not responding to my mom's texts after she said she preferred one of my daughters over another?
