Other than the vacation issue, our families are pretty okay. My Mom and DH's Mom live 2 hours and 2 1/2 hours from us so we don't really have the visiting issue. Plus, my brother lives in the same town as my Mom and she still probably sees me more than him. My sister-in-law lives with my MIL so not an issue there either. DS is an only child and an only grandchild on both sides of the family so he's spoiled on all sides, but since it's only him it's not an issue. DH's Mom treats me just like DH and his sister and she doesn't intrude in our lives (except vacations!!!!!) so we've got a pretty good family. DH isn't overly fond of my Mom, but that's not because she butts in or says anything, it's just a personality thing.
The "favorite" thing is so not fair in families. I was the only girl on my Dad's side of the family so my grandmother showed clear favoritism to me whenever we visited. I was so uncomfortable with it and hated it when we'd go visit.
