OP, I totally believe your theory.  Happy people are involved in their grandchildren's lives - ALL of their grandchildren, not just whom they choose.  If there is favoritism or lack of involvement, it is (from what I have seen) usually because the grandparent is selfish, and/or not a happy person to begin with.

Also, good parents make good grandparents, great parents...great grandparents, and lousy parents make lousy grandparents - from what I have seen.

And I have seen many, many grandparents interact with their grandchildren and children!

I fully agree about the theory of happy people rather than marital status.

In laws are horrible people, parents and grandparents. They will not drive ten minutes to see her dance even though retired and no hobbies or volunteer time. They have not even volunteered to take her to a park. They haven't even bought her a balloon, they are millionaires and married still after 35 years.

My mom and stepfather are millionaires and spends lavishly on the kids and she is the best and most loving grandma ever. 
My dad and stepmom love the little ones too.

My kids talk more about and ask for both sets of my divorced parents who live 3000 miles  away versus the mean selfish ones who live ten minutes away.
