[quote=Anonymous]I'm sad my DIL doesn't want the same level of closeness that I have with my own daughter. I know it's unusual to be so close with one's child, but I think it creates love and family bonds to be together all the time. We belong in each others' daily lives, and I am so lucky I take care of my daughter's children full time, and that we eat dinner together most nights. I know what is in her fridge, I answer the phone. We go on all our vacations together. We are the same. I belong in the daily life of all my grandchildren. It's sad that my son's children aren't as close. And, although it was my son's work that took my grandchildren out of the area, I can't help but feel it's my DIL who is the one who caused the distance-- especially given how that the relationship my DIL and I have is so different than the relationship my daughter and I have. (I really do think this is her perspective, and I am sad for her, too).[/quote]
