[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before we moved, my in-laws lived 45 min away and saw DS once a month.  My parents live 30 min away and saw DS weekly.  My parents skype with DS daily and in-laws every other week.  It is clear that DS recognizes and responds to my parents better (he's 1.5).  It will be interesting what happens when we move back in a few months.

Like another PP said, some people just don't want to be THOSE grandparents.  [b]I was a little annoyed at first but have gotten over i[/b]t.

I don't understand why you are annoyed at DH though.  That seems like a total overreaction and really unhealthy. [/quote]

I don't understand why you were annoyed - Your parents saw you kid 2x/ month and your inlaws 1x/month plus skype time.... Isn't that plenty?

Anyway, growing up I lived very far from my grandma who I ADORED! Much of my adoration was my parents work - how they talked about her and built her image to me. I would see her only twice/year - I would visit during summer for maybe 3 weeks and she would come to visit us once a year for 15 days.

As I got older, sometimes I would go during winter for 2 weeks.

Besides that, we lived in the middle of nowhere where no one had phones in their homes and there was a post in the city with one phone. We would call  her maybe once a month and she would call us maybe once a month or less.

She also would never forget X-mas, Easter, birthday, and sometimes just send a big candy bar with a sweet note or something.

And despite all that, I loved her soooooo much! She was one of my best friends once I grew older and I miss her dearly:([/quote]
