Unfortunately, I don't have a close relationship with my daughter-in-law where I could calmly express what I am seeing and advise her. I have talked to my son and even her mother. My son shows no favoritism and is warm and loving to both. That is often a casualty of favoritism: Since they’re not strong enough yet to challenge their mother’s power, they may jockey for power against each other. A loving grandparent can help temper that by never pitting anyone against anyone else.
