My DS1 and DiL are (i am sorry to admit) selfish people who are only interested in themselves and what their two DC (age 8 & 10) are doing. My DD2 and DSiL are currently visiting us (they live 600 miles away) with their DS (age 2) and new born DD. The problem is that on the rare occasions that the two families meet, DS1 and DiL completely ignore DDs two young children. All of their conversation is about their own children and achievements whilst totally ignoring the existence of the newborn and toddler. There is a history of my DS1 and DiL ignoring their siblings children and being very competitve and boastful. We have just had a very awkward family gathering when DS1 and DiL did not acknowledge in any way DD's toddler and new born. DS and DiLs children entertained us with musical instruments, then we were all in garden withgames and footie, etc. but toddler and baby not mentioned by them once. I love all my DGC but hate to see my DD and SiL hurt by their children being absolutely ignored and the new born baby not even acknowledged.
