Sucks that they're seeming to be more excited about a fourth kid as opposed to your first.

My parent's favor my brother's kids way, way more than mine or my sister's. Then again my brother and his wife aren't the best parents and if it wasn't for my mom and dad they wouldn't get a chance to do anything. They take them to the park, out to eat, on trips, stuff like that. Used to really bother me because it's like my kids are getting the shaft because of someone's else's bad parenting. But it's ultimately better for the kids.

My in-laws have absolutely nothing to do with my kids. See them at Christmas and that's about it. My mother in law puts forth no effort. With my wife's dad I kinda get it, as he had a stroke and never fully recovered.

Try not to let it get to you. Just be the best parents you can be. It's their loss.
