[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the maternal grandmother is closer due to mother-daughter bond which contributes to the DIL making sure her family is closer to her mom. [/quote] I agree with the first part of this, I am just way more comfortable telling my mom and dad what to do / not to do parenting wise than my MIL. And especially regarding help right after my kids were born I wanted my mom there. My in laws are lovely but I did not want them there while I tried to figure out breastfeeding , was crying for every reason and no reason every 5 minutes and was unshowered for days. The first go around they were staying with us right after I got back from the hospital and it was awkward for everyone. That trend just kind of continues I think and therefore my mom is a lot closer to my kids. My in laws are way closer to my SILs kids and also they were the first grandchildren. Just how it is for us.
