My own mum died when I was a teenager so I hoped my MiL would be a good grandmother for my 2DDs -who also had 2 GFs+a GreatGF. However we always had to "make an appointment" just to visit her+GF(or have them visit us)even though they only lived a few miles away+had 2cars. I could count on 1 hand the number of times they babysat when our DDs were growing up. Recently, BiL & SiL were reminiscing about "all the great times" their 2sons (their only other GC) had, when they went to stay with their GPs at weekends+during school hols.-This was indeed news to DH & me! Our 4GC have paternal grandmothers. One is widowed, mid 70s, lives about 80miles away from GS, cannot drive & as now in poor health can no longer visit. Sil takes GS to visit her when he can and she is loved by all her GC! Our other 3GC have younger grandmother (55) who lives just a few miles away from them, has never babysat, never visits, sometimes sends very 'babyish' cards (even to 18yr old recently!)-but never a Birthday or Christmas present, never phones GC or SiL. Now has new GD (by her younger son) who is "Apple of her eye"-according to her own FB page.Youngest of our 3GC (age 9) does not even know what she looks like, as not seen her for at least 5years! As 'they' say -'There's nowt as queer as folk'. We love ALL out GC dearly and they are all delightful - even the 2 teenagers! So to all of you -YOU are all EQUAL GRANDPARENTS-just love & treat all your grandchildren equally, no matter WHO their parents are!!
