I have 3 girls ages 1, 6 and 8. My mom super favors my 8 yr old over my 6 year old and its getting obnoxious and it makes me feel bad for 6yo. She will come over and immediately sit with my 8yo and hug/cuddle. One time she brought a big bag of nail polish over for "both of them to share" but handed it over to my 8yo. She's always asking my 8yo questions or showing her something on her phone and not 6yo. If she babysits while my husband and I see a movie, she's always snapchatting me selfies with my 8yo. She will even kiss and love on my 1yo and not 6yo.I'm not even sure my 6yo notices much but I feel like she subconsciously does. Im glad my 8yo and mother have a bond but it bothers me that she doesnt share her love equally.My 6yo has had articulation issues since she was 2, she has speech therapy 5 hours a week and is really getting so much better, you can understand about 80% of what she says today, and just a couple years ago it was more like 10-20%, so I understand that had a lot to do with bonding and feeling connected. How can I approach my mother with this? I'm positive she has absolutely no idea she's doing it via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2EPRkF1
