[quote=Anonymous]As the article says, it can be very dependent on family dynamics. The two studies mentioned are 14 and 18 years old, so I'd be interested in updated data with the options that allow for more video contact these days. We live a block from my parents who are minimally involved in my children's lives. We live a couple hour flight from my ILs and see them probably 5 or 6 times a year and FaceTime or Skype at least once a week. My children spend a lot more time with my ILs, whether in person or on the phone/computer and have much closer relationships with them than with my own parents despite geographic proximity. I am very thankful that my ILa are such a wonderful and caring people and I'm grateful that my kids have them for grandparents. [/quote]
