Growing up, did prefer your mom's parents or your dad's parents? I prefer my mom's parents because they were a lot more funny and fun loving. My mom's parents were from Italy and just had this old world reaction to everything that was sometimes comical. One time my cousins and me were over my grandma's house. My cousin was playing catch with one of the other kids in the neighborhood. They started arguing over score and my cousin yelled "SUCK MY DICK!" And my grandma bless her was like "no, no...sucka da penis!" LMAO!

My dads parents aren't even in America. I've seen them twice my whole life.

I never knew a whole set, my maternal grandfather died before I was born, so I knew my grandmother's second husband, I liked him, never really knew him too well, I prefer my paternal grandmother, who has been divorced for over 50 years.

as a kid, I love both sets but in the end, I was closer to my Mom's parents but that was more because they lived longer than my Dad's parents. My paternal grandpa died when I was just 9 or 10 and he was really sick - a wasting for of muscular dystrophy - so I never knew him when he was really healthy. My paternal Grandma and maternal Grandpa died the same year - when I was 17, so I had a chance to know them more. I knew my maternal grandma best of all, because I had her the longest. I don't know which was I was closest too, though. My Mom's Dad was always very special, but maybe because I clung to him more after my other grandpa died.

With the exception of my mothers father, both sets of my grandparents have passed on. I preferred my paternal grandparents though. I knew them better, they were local. My mom's parents were in Canada. Also, eh, not to get into my family drama, but my maternal relatives are a bit on the racist side.

last i seen my grandma on my dads side was over 20 yrs ago, and her an my grandpa had split not soon after or maybe even before i was born, id have to ask again, so not much of a relationship there.

so most def i would prefer my grandma an grandpa on my moms side.

My mothers mother. Her father died before I was born.
I was never especially close to my father....and that played into my relationship with my paternal grandparents. Every time I visited them I felt like....I was visiting. Quasi formal, slightly uncomfortable rapport. Counting down the minutes til I'd think it's been long enough and I can announce that it was time for me to leave. That sorta thing.

Neither of my parents knew their fathers. The guy that my maternal grandmother married, we call him our grandfather but I didn't really know him like that growing up and hardly ever saw him because him and my grandmother broke up long before I was born. But he does have my number and he does call me from time to time. So now it's down to my two grandmothers. Which do I prefer? My maternal grandmother passed when I was 15. My paternal grandmother is still living. I don't speak to her.....only when I'm visiting my father and I see her, but we are not close like that at all. She doesn't call me. Both of my grandmothers exhibited favortism to whichever grandchild they decided to make their favorite and me nor my little brother were ever one of them, esp from my paternal grandmother. If she passed away right now, I wouldn't even cry, as sad as it sounds. If I had to choose, I would go with my mother's mother. She was less of a bitch.

Definitely my mother’s parents. My father’s side were never crazy about my parent’s marriage. They weren’t hostile to my brother and me but we were never close.
