My husbands family does not treat our daughter equally?

They treat his daughter from his previous marriage much better than our daughter. They do this from the way they talk to her to the gifts that they give. For easter they gave his daughter a big easter basket filled with stuffed animals, candy and money. They gave our daughter a shirt that his Mom bought at an after Christmas sale that she said our daughter could wear next year. I am afraid that this will really hurt my daughters feelings as she gets older. Should I say something? What should I do?
--------------------
yes, you AND hubby should say something to his folks. Let them know how obvious it is and that your child isn't stupid and she'll catch on pretty quick. Use the Easter example but try not to let this escalate as they may get defensive pretty quickly. Help them understand that you're trying to understand the disparity. Hubby should ask his folks -not you - the big question, WHY? they may not like you as much as his other daughter's mom. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, you 2 should consider limiting your child's time with these grandparents. They could give her a serious inferiority complex.
