Only have one daughter, she never wanted children, she has a career she has split from her partner and although she has met some one else they live in their own homes.
We are very very close, she lives just round the corner to us and she has our gd her niece every other weekend.
Which helps us, and they do lots of things together.

I have 3 daughters. 2 have children . I am lucky to be able to spend time with each of them. Each has interests that I share with them. I probably see the youngest more at the moment as she is currently a SAHM. We all
Meet up as a family regularly.

I've got 2 daughters , the eldest has 4 children, the younger has none ( yet) . I think the ratio of contact is heavy on the large family side ! They need help with practical stuff -
babysitting ,'Granny, come and see' things , trouser hemming , money lending etc . My younger daughter's needs are different but I try to keep them all happy .

Do you think you have a stronger relationship with your daughter/s when/if they've had children of their own?

If you have 2+ daughters and one/some of them have children and one/some of them don't, do you find that you see or talk to the ones with children more? Or that you're closer to them?
