[quote=Anonymous]This is the NYT article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/03/21/well/family/the-maternal-grandparent-advantage.amp.html It’s not true in my family, though. My husband is very close with his family and was the primary caregiver early on so both sets of parents are pretty equally involved. He makes the effort to skype with them, make travel plans, etc, and I do it with my side. I suspect this is cultural and will change as gender roles shift and men take on more of the social labor described in the article. So if you have sons (which I do) and want to reverse the trend, raise them to fully share the burden of relationship management. [/quote]
