Does your DH/DS have favourite grandparents?

[Lauraw1989]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and we have told both sets of parents they are going to become Grandparents.

When I told my parents I went home feeling really happy and excited.

When I told DP's parents (his mum in particular) I went home with about 100 worries and a feeling of dread.

All she went on about is all the money she is going to spend on her grandchild. My parents are really strapped for cash.l and won't be able to match that.

I'm just worried my child will like DH's parents more and it will break my heart.

My question is does your DD/DS like seeing one set of grandparents but not the other?

For what it's worth:

I liked my paternal grandparents much better because basically I spent much more time with them. My father thought they gave me too many presents (I was their only grandchild), but that's not what I remember at any rate. I just felt at ease because I went there every night, slept there every Tuesday and went to the seaside with them alone since I was less than 1yo, whereas to my maternal grandparents I went (together with my mum) every fortnight and I didn't have a close relationship with them (they had 16 grandchildren all in all).
Both had lemonade to drink :) and toys to play with, but that wasn't the main thing for me.

I think my children do to be honest although it's not to do with money or time spent.

In fact the ones who spend the most money aren't the favourites.

When they were little they liked both equally I think (despite one set spending loads more)

As they have got older they make their own judgements of their grandparents behaviour on both sides.
