<p>Even if the grandparents came through for all three granddaughters, there is still the issue of the stepdaughter who is the same age as the oldest granddaughter. The difference in circumstances would likely be a source of tension in any second marriage. My kids are in a similar position with their blended family on their dad’s side (except without the extreme wealth) and it has been awkward at times to understand the grandparents’ thinking on things. They have shown favoritism on a smaller scale toward one of the kids and it has caused rifts and had repercussions. It’s just hard to constantly try to make things seem “fair” when there are so many outside influences.</p>
