Yes, they are :-)

There were some other family members that brought some food, but she was the one organizing the whole thing. There's no way it would have happened without her. And what's really frustrating is her grandparents on my husband's side - they're always praising the other grandkids, and not my kids, especially not my daughter. I think it's because my kids have it pretty together and the other grandkids really struggle in a lot of areas, and they're trying to make them feel better. My husband usually doesn't notice very much, but my son and I stand up for her. But this time, my husband noticed and praised her, and the grandparents didn't respond, so he doubled his volume (and he has a loud voice!) and praised her again, and finally got some praise out of them. Then he brought it up again later on, and the same thing happened, and again, he pressed the point and made sure that my daughter heard how proud he was of her, and the grandparents had to say some nice things too. It's really stupid how they think it's helpful to not praise a grandchild who is really capable to make the less capable ones feel better or some weird reason like that.
