Anyone has a MIL like mine?

Not sure if this is common but I have always imagined MILs to be always hovering around their grand children? Want to care for them, watch them, play with them etc. But my MIL does not seem interested at all? Not even want to push the stroller... Only sees her grandson from afar, keeping a distance? Only FIL interested, always hovering over grandson, watching him, playing and carrying him...

Usually if it's a first baby and a son,both families should be happy. Because Chinese culture old timer prefer to have a son as their first new born/grandson. Likewise,maybe she kept a distance not to interfere how you took care of your son. Some MIL once they also include themself taking care of their grandson/kids at the same household. This cannot that cannot very pantang or the opp way. Mum say no, grandma say can. Its better off she kept a distance for now. Maybe once your child learns to walk or talk it will be a diff scenario.
