Would you be upset?

Refuse to read that nonsense. I feel like responding more.

Here's my response: "Grow the eff up."

Even though my dad was always there for me financially he wasn't someone I hung out with, played sports, went to events, etc. Now that I have 2 boys (5 & 3) I try to do everything with them. My entire family is very involved with my kids but my dad really favors my older boy. My brother has a daughter who is 2 and even though all 3 kids get a lot of love, affection and attention, my oldest boy is clearly my dad's favorite. I, along, with my mom have confronted my dad about this but he just rolls his eyes and just laughs it off. I know he cares about all of his grandkids and it not worth it to fight him on his allocation of time.

Your kid doesn't care. As long as he doesn't mind, you shouldn't either. Focus on being a better dad than you got, and get on with the things that matter to your kid.
