[quote=Anonymous]I grew up so close to all of my grandparents - they all lived within a 45 min drive of my house and we saw them frequently - they attended some of my school functions, all the big ones like graduations, we met for dinner every couple of weeks and saw each other on every minor and major holiday. More than all that, I visited with them one on one frequently - my sib and I would sleep over our grandparents' houses, when I was a teen and older I'd drive over myself to have dinner with my grandparents. None are still alive, and fast forward to now I'm an adult with my own kids and neither my ILs nor my own parents (it's just my dad) are very involved in my kids' lives. I don't "expect" it, but it makes me very sad since I consider my own grandparents to have been such an important part of my life. I vow to do different - I just hope I am alive to be a part of my grandchildren's lives. (darn it on me for having kids later in life!)[/quote]
