[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is because men leave and don't keep the relationship with their family of origin up as much as a woman. [/quote]

My mom isn’t engaged at ALL with her grandchildren, yet my mother in law is my absolute lifeline. As in, they’ve sold their house and moved to our town to help. This is my husbands mom.

I can have sons and still be an engaged grandparent/mother in law. Right?[/quote]

Sure...if your daughter-in-law lets you ;0)

I’m a mom of a handful of boys (no girls). Literally every older mom I’ve ever met has told me that “boys” leave and “thank god they have a daughter who still calls” etc.

I adore my MIL. I invited her to the hospital when I delivered, she has a key to our house and she’s always welcome. I also remind my husband and kids to call/FaceTime with the grands.

I hope I don’t lose my boys to controlling future wives. I’m cautiously optimistic things will go well if we act cool, throw money at them, and generally are helpful. Fingers crossed.[/quote]
