I'm a paternal grandmother [hence the subject matter] and luckily I get on with my DIL extremely well, in fact she seems to prefer my visits to that of her mother.But that could be mothers and daughters for you nothing I've done. However, I always feel that the maternal Granny has the edge of me. There are times I feel it's not my place to say anything whereas her mother can just barge right in. As my daughter hasn't had any children yet I haven't been able to test this personally. However, I have asked friends who are both paternal and maternal g/mas and they agree with me. They are somewhat reticient to give advice or remarks to their DIL but have no problem with their daughter[s]. I'd love your comments, as always excellent on this forum.
