[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In my experience, yes and no. Generally, I see grandparents being closest to the grandchildren who live closest. But in my family, sons are valued more highly than daughters, and grandparents value grandchildren from sons more highly.[/b] Just the way it is. So my mother it closer to the grandchildren from her son than to any other grandchildren. [/quote] x10000 This is my experience too, in most cultures. Maybe not the "flat affect" ones. [/quote] I think that’s an Eastern culture vs Western culture. Children of daughters seem more prized here [/quote] PP here. Not exactly, but the MILs may subconsciously see their daughters children as an extension of the MILs ego, which is slightly sick. Why would you think they are more prized? They are not even carrying on the family name, as a proper surname![/quote]
