I think it happens more or less in every family.
I guess you're right. I hadn't looked at it this way. It is quite normal and common to show no interest, let alone love, for any of one's 5 nephews and nieces and keep the focus entirely on one's own offspring. I guess you're right too that "sometimes extramarital children are not considered part of the family'' even though that's how the Monaco monarchy has been able to endure.
