Favoritism or Just Fair?
This family drama has everyone questioning if the grandparents are showing favoritism towards their adopted granddaughter, S, or if they’re simply trying to provide her with the support she needs. L, the mother of S and her other children, accuses her parents of treating her kids unfairly by providing S with a college fund, while her other kids don’t receive the same treatment. However, the grandparents argue that they’re only trying to give S the support she needs, as she has no one else to rely on. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
