Ok. So long post here, sorry in advance but Yesssssss to all this!!! I saw it with my own dad.. He was one of 7, third youngest and with so many siblings and back in the day from two humble parents who did their best but weren’t as educated and def were not perfect, both did NOT come from a silver spoon upbringing like Ms country club brat and it affected him. My dad was def loved but not one of the ‘favorites’ especially with his strong willed personality with a military dad. However, he was the ONE who stepped up with both parents. When my grandfather got sick with cancer He was the one who would run out to get him his meds no matter what he was doing while the others were doing them, who kept the other siblings in check if they were doing something wrong. In his death bed my grandfather apologized for not showing him more affection and being so tough and that he did love him without a doubt (my granddad was a vet and military official in DR so he was tough and strict overall) and that he knew without a doubt that he would be the one to step up when he passed for his mom. Sure enough , my grandad passed in 1980, (parents married in 81 and came to the US) my dad made sure from that moment on he looked after her needs , my grandma passed in 2008. In that whole time like clockwork, monthly my dad sent money to DR and went to see her as often as he could. We never went without but if my dad had to sacrifice getting things he may have needed for himself, he did so that could go to my grandma. And let me be clear , my grandma is nothing compared to this selfish bimbo, she was caring and nurturing and loved being a mom and housewife and cooked like the Gods she just babied a little extra my youngest uncle. But favoritism does affect kids and they will carry that into their adulthood and stays with them and it hurts all their lives , and again in his home it wasn’t so bad like this. My father made it a point our whole lives to never ever show favoritism with my brother and I. He would tell us he had no favorites cause we both had great qualities even though we were very different and if he ever did we would never ever know! I can’t imagine how these poor kids are gonna turn out cause she is a million times worse in how obvious she is and even worse it’s documented on social media for them to see when they grow. My uncle who my granddad ‘favored’ and it was slightly cause he was tough with all of them, didn’t do a damn thing for either of his parents. Like you said this will be the ultimate Pandora’s box cause she really doesn’t know what she’s gonna get back. Jayden could very well be my dad of her story , but she very well may not and I would not blame her! We are in a different time and generation, we know better, can do better with all the resources we have at our hands especially with modern tech, to be better than what our parents, grandparents, great grands did or could do. She better pray one of these kids won’t
dislike her but she is setting them up so bad. I pray they all turn out ok cause she’s even setting them up for issues amongst themselves as siblings, it’s really really really sad ! She can really
duck up them up for LIFE but she’s so damn dense and I don’t think she would ever have the nobleness to apologize to those kids for the trauma she is causing them !
