Just an observation, but I’ve often noticed that parents seem to have a lot more to do with their daughters children, rather than their sons.

My DHs parents would have always favoured his sisters children, would have looked after them more, every year they would have spent 2 weeks at their house looking after the children so that DH sister and her husband could go on holidays in September, would taken them out places, bought them a lot.

For my own children, they were their when required, at Christmas for a short visit to drop off presents before going to their daughters house, they were there at birthday parties in the early years, but stopped coming once they went to school.
They only ever looked at my children once and that was in an absolute emergency.

Just wondering if that’s what’s happening here? Not saying it’s right, but I have noticed it happening in other families.
