[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maternal grandparents help constantly but paternal grandparents still want half the holidays. [/quote]

This! My mom has done so much to help us over the years.  The ILs help would have been welcomed but was never offered.  So yes, I make more of an effort for my mom compared to my ILs when it comes to the kids.  [/quote]

Lol! My inlaws are watching my sick child today and will have a hot dinner on the table when we get home. My inlaws jump at the chance to help. My inlaws help 75% of the time, my mom 25%.

My DH also has a healthy dynamic with his family. His mom obviously treated him and his sisters equally, so it all has translated into tight bonds.   [/quote]

You are lucky! In 8 years my ILs have babysat for our kids twice, even though they are 10 years younger than my mother and there are 4 of them to her 1. DH only has brothers and ours will be the only grandkids.  According to my DH, both sets of his grandparents were very active and involved in his life, but his parents choose not to pay it forward.
