Dear Amy: No matter what I do, though, I never seem to receive the same level of attention and respect as my cousins do.
Dear Amy: I have cousins who receive almost all of the attention from our grandparents.
I am happy for my cousins and want them to be successful, but it hurts me knowing it feels like my accomplishments and successes are going underappreciated.How do I tell my grandparents this without causing heated arguments?Dear Underappreciated: If you fear that expressing your sincere feelings will bring on a heated argument, then I’d say that the issue with your grandparents is deeper and more complicated than an attention imbalance.
