Is your mom/dad the "grandparent" type?

What I mean is, do they hug and kiss your child/ren?

Do they actually WANT to spend time with the grandkids?

Do they like to babysit?

It bums me out that dh's mom isn't. In fact she acts add if our children are a nuisance to her. My parents are deceased, but when they were around they were so great with my children. My children felt loved and WANTED, but with dh's mom my children feel unwanted and unloved. She one of those women that have that "I've raised my children" attitude. I can't stand it. Any of you deal with this also?

Yes and his great grandparents are more like grandparents since they are all so young and able to do things with him.

My mom is she trys to be at games & everything the kids are in but baby sitting doesnt happen often. She always tells me she had us young so she could have a.life when we were grown. So sitting only happen when she feels like it.

 Both sets of grandparents are the old fashioned grandparents. They hug/kiss....they call to say hi...my dad draws dd pictures and sends them bc he knows she likes to get mail....both sets of grandparents call and ask to have sleepovers.

Sorry your kids have to go through that. My moms mother was like that. She didnt even acknowledge my sister and I. It always made me so upset that my dads mom was your typical loving grandma and overall great person, but she passed away when I was 4 from cancer....but my moms mother was awful (in so many ways) and lived such a long life.
