what is your relationship with your grandparents like?

[Equippers]

which category does it fall into

do they 

1 love you as much as your parents

2 love you more than they love your parents.

3 love you but not as much as they love your parents

or 

4 they don't love you at all

for mine maternal grandparents, they would probably fall into category 3, they love me but not as much as they love my mom.

???

Why?

What is the point of trying to make such an assessment? What good might any answer serve? How would anyone even make such an assessment? How about expanding on the reason for the question?

Not every child even has a grandparent nor parents that are available to them for any type of relationship. Nonetheless I suggest  generations have interest and some degree of pride and certainly love for the generations of family both living and dead. To measure is rather a unfair thing to do for the opportunity to display love is unequal for numerous reasons. And, so is the ability to receive , in a manner that is overt, love itself.

I only knew my maternal grandmother who died 15 years ago. I was the last person she asked to see before she died. I would say our relationship fit into category 3.

Both my grandfathers became alcoholics, I never met neither one of them. Sadly, my kids have not met their grandfathers either even though both are still alive.

why do you have to read more into people's post than intended?

i am just curious in terms of what type of relationship people have with their grandparents, i was a psych major, i am interested in human relationships

of course you can make this type of assessment if you know your grandparents well enough.

you know, if you don't want to answer this question that is fine. just don't answer it.

again, you are reading things into my post that is not intended.

again, if you don't want to answer the thread, that is fine.

i am sorry to hear your children do not have a chance to know their grandfathers.

do you mind me asking why is it their grandfathers are not in their lives even though they are both alive?

anyway, i always think grandparents plays an important roles in children lives, but in end of the day, parents are the most important influences, and as long as children have two loving parents, they should be fine.

My one adoptive grandfather was still having nightmares about WWI when I knew him. He was a tough guy and kindly.

My mother's side grandparents were good. I recall an argument that basically said, if you try to send him back to the orphanage, then we will take him! They were talking about me and I was four by then. You never forget things like that.

Hi, Can you expand on the purpose  of trying to make such an assessment? I don't understand to point nor the purpose of trying to weigh who loves who more, especially  nor how one would do it.  What does one do with an answer regardless of how it is derived or what conclusion  might be reached?

Sorry that questions disturb you so much. Maybe psych majors only ask questions not respond to them with answers?
