[quote=Anonymous]for me: I was closer to my mom's parents simply because we saw them more often and they were younger and would take us to do fun things/play with us/interact with us more whereas my dad's parents were older, had health issues, and couldn't engage with us as much when we were kids.

for my kids: right now my kids are really young so we'll see how it might change over time but for the time being, I would say it's quite equal. We don't live in the same city as either set of grandparents but we are a closer drive to my husbands' parents so we do see them a bit more often. However, when we see my parents it's usually for longer stretches at a time since they live farther away so I think it all evens out in the end. More frequent visits with my in-laws but longer on average visits with my parents=about the same amount of time spent with each and my kids love to be with both sets of grandparents as both sets are very involved, attentive, and really play w/ the kids. I hope it remains even. My kids are so lucky to have 4 grandparents who are so involved.[/quote]
