[quote=Anonymous]My parents have 16 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. The grandchildren range in age from almost 30 to 5. The great-gc are between 12-4. I don’t think the number of grandchildren makes my kids (17 and 12) any less connected. My ILs have only 6 grandchildren, and I think my kids would say they are equally close to both sets. We do live further than some of the other families and that limits the in person interaction, especially as they have gotten older. And a few of my siblings are not great at adulthood, much less parenthood, so some of the grandchildren have been almost (or completely for a time) parented by my parents. Obviously those kids have a different relationship. Not the one I want for either set. [/quote]
