This is how one mom felt after her in-laws refused what she felt was a reasonable request by her teenage daughter. Their only bathroom was being renovated, so she requested to use one of the four at her grandparents' house to take a shower before her prom.
They decided against it, which the mom felt was the latest insult in a long line of unacceptable behavior they had displayed to their side of the family, despite them being willing to do favors for them. When they threw a family party shortly afterwards, they didn't invite them.
As a result, she decided that she no longer wanted her family to visit her in-laws. However, she wasn't sure if she was taking things too far.

Grandparents refuse to let 18-year-old granddaughter use their shower before prom, daughter-in-law refuses to visit them any more: 'They have 4 full bathrooms'
Preferential treatment is something that happens in almost every family. A large number of people have favorite kids, parents, and grandkids, and it blatantly shows in the different ways that they treat them. It isn't right, but that doesn't stop it from happening. In fact, sometimes this only encourages it.
It goes without saying that being the relative or side of the family that isn't in the good graces of other family members can be a tough pill to swallow, not least when it is for reasons that are either mysterious or totally illegitimate.
When this is a pattern of behavior that they begin to suffer from, it is not uncommon for some backlash to be experienced. Giving to someone on the grounds that they are family and not getting anything back can become tiring and upsetting, and sometimes, the best thing to do in this situation is to reduce or cut contact.
