I probably am.
I feel as though my parents are closer to my dc than my brothers dc. They don't treat them differently or anything so it's hard to explain.
I like my in laws but I don't feel close to them, when my own parents are with my dc it just seems more natural, hard to explain. I try not to let this get in the way. It might be because with my own family we can say what we think but it's all faux politeness with in laws.
I've noticed this with a few people, the daughters are the main carers and seem to go to their own mum for advice or for babysitting. I've even seen situations where the dads parents have been banned from seeing grandchildren when relationships break down.
Is this just me? I've got boys and although it's a long way off I wonder if my future dil will feel the way I do.

To think maybe grandparents are closer to their daughter's children?
