[quote=Anonymous]I have a brother who had a baby before I did, and my parents haven't met their first grandchild for over 2 years! I still don't know why. After my son was born I did not expect much from them, but they have become quite involved. I think that was both due to proximity and the illusion that by having their daughter as mother (primary caregiver) they became closer and more influential as compared to when they were related through the father. I come from a culture where fathers are much less involved in child rearing than mothers. Anyway, after becoming involved with my son they gradually started getting involved with their other grandchildren (another one was born in my brothers family by then). I really don't know why this happened and what was the trigger. [/quote]
