This is definitely unacceptable (but, it happens often)! First talk to your husband about the situation. At that point your husband should immediately talk to his mother to make her aware of the situation (she may not realize it) and collectively you two should speak with her and make sure she addresses it. In order to be most effective please be sure that you and/or your husband is not upset when speaking to your mother-in-law. I am sure after voicing your concerns you will notice a change. If the mother-in-law doesn't feel she is treating them different bring up scenarios and demand that a change happens because this be very hurtful and can present life-long damages (and be persistant). You have to protect your children and they need to know they are Loved equally. You continue to show them Love and others will too! I wish you the best and stay encouraged!

Oh we'd definitely have to talk about that. Is the child being treated better per chance a direct grandchild of hers and the other is from another marriage? That's what it sounds like to me, but no matter what, that is unacceptable. Sit her down and tell her you don't like the situation. If she doesn't stop the behavior, then stop taking the children around her, she'll get the picture. Also, explain to your husband what's going on and let him know if she doesn't stop, then his mother won't get to see either children.
Ugh, I'm so friggin mad! Children are children and they shouldn't be treated unfairly!

All hell would break out. I'd be going at her nose to nose and eye to eye. Either she treats all of my children the same or don't bother being in my and my children's lives. I don't treat my children differently from one another and will not tolerate anyone else doing this either.

Let the KIDS know you know what's going on, and that you don't approve (that's what my parents did.)
This is a discussion to be had privately at first, but in front of the children if it continues. Call her on it - let her know it's unacceptable, and that there WILL be consequences if it continues.
Stick to your guns. Do NOT tolerate it.

You need to sit down and talk to her. Ask her why she's doing it. Maybe she doesn't realize that she's favouring one of the kids over the other.

limit her time with them, and never allow the kids alone with her
