Just like Reddit userOtherwiseYard2922whose parents favored her sisters sons over her own daughter quite blatantly.
And one day when her daughter threw a fit about it, they expected her to be punished.
But drama ensued when the original poster (OP) refused to do so.
Apparently, this was the root of all the favoritism that this story is steeped with.
Because of her sisters financial condition, herparentsdid more for her and her family than the poster.
And whenever anyone mentioned grandparents, she always thought about her other grandparents, that is her dads parents.
He didnt allow her even when she begged him to.
The poster also gave an update that her dad told her uncle about howdisrespectfulthey were.
And as per him, it all comes down to his daughter going to college.
Now that sounds absolutely ridiculous, doesnt it?
And even dared to say that she was being selfish for trying to take it away.
Well, it just blows our mind to think about the whole unfairness of this situation.
She said, Perceiving favoritism can deeply impact a childs long-term emotional well-being and self-esteem.
So it does seem that what netizens are saying is quite true.
As per theWashington Post, Favoritism hurts everyone, even the one being favored.
These insights underscore the profound impact that familial favoritism can have on a childs psychological development and long-term well-being.
So, it looks like the grandparents are indirectly hampering all their grandkidswell-being.
She mentioned, Let the child know that its okay to feel sad or upset about the situation.
Validate their emotions by acknowledging their feelings without judgment.
Encourage the child to talk about how they feel.
Create a safe space where they can express their emotions openly.
Teaching them that their worth isnt defined by any single relationship can help build resilience and confidence.
