Both of our parents act like they're the only ppl with a grandson....and also think that he is a baby prodigy.
It's cute & endearing.

@mrsjyw: yeah, pretty much. Except in my IL's case, he's their seventh grandchild! it's sweet
My mom loves that her two sisters don't have grand babies and are totally jealous of her.

There are so many grandkids on my DH's side, and there are more on the way, so my kids are nothing special on that side. On my side, they rule the roost though. So far, anyway

Nope. My parents treat him like one of the grandkids out of 4. He's the baby of them, so he gets that level of attention. I guess my mom does treat him like the baby because she loves buying clothes and awesome toys for him. He gets cards from my family for holidays and other stuff.
With my inlaws, it's hard to tell. They Skype with him every couple of weeks, but for being their first grandchild and the second great-grandchild, you wouldn't know it by how they show or not show interest in him. They don't send cards or anything age appropriate for him. Like with everything relating to our family, there's a general lack of interest with them.

My parents only have DD, and she's the center of their universe.
DD is the seventh grandchild for my husband's parents, and she couldn't be more lost in the shuffle. It's definitely a sensitive issue for me.

Nope...we're both late in the game! She's #18 or so on his side and #5 on my side. But she's our #1 and #thecenterofmyuniverse. LOL She's one of the favorites on both sides so it's all good in the neighborhood!!

Lo is my mum's only grandchild so she definitely gets special attention in that aspect. Lo is the 2nd grandchild on dh's side and it's totally obvious that the first grandchild is the favourite.

LO is my grandparents first great grandchild. Everyone who visits or who he sees in the halls or elevator of his building have to stop and look at her pictures. Even us. it's very sweet.
Both sets of grandparents give her special attention even though she's not the first on DHs side. We're pretty blessed to be loved so much.
ETA: I should say that all the grand kids on DHs side get special attention. Not just ours! They're really good about making all the kids feel like they're the only one.

She's my parents only grandchild and they are enamored with her - I think it's really cute. My dad plans on spoiling her rotten though so I know there's trouble in my future!
