[quote=Anonymous]For healthy relationships, this is not true.  But all the relationships need to be healthy (the son and his wife, his mother, and any other siblings of that son).

My mother is equally close to all of her grandchildren, regardless if the kids are her daughter's or her son's.  But she has worked very hard at being the perfect grandmother.  Someone is who self-sufficient, flexible, and able to see ways she can be helpful and just do what's helpful without waiting for permission.  She was a working mother with three young kids and she totally remember how HARD shit was.  She gets it.  And she's made her self invaluable to her grandkids.  The ones that live out of state (my brother's kids) she plans visit around every school break.  Why?  Because that's she knows they need help.  If they are covered for a school break, she'll come down for a weekend visit.  She lands, she goes to the grocery store, she picks up the kids and she MAKES DINNER.  My brother's wife adores her!  Why?  Because my mom goes out of her way to make their life easier, not harder.[/quote]
