My mother is much more hands off, though I doubt she'd be any different if I had my son with a man. We moved closer to my in-laws this past year, for a number of reasons. It has been great to have them nearby, and they love seeing him once a week, at least, instead of every 2-4 months. They have also watched him a couple times when we had friends getting married. I grew up halfway across the country from my grandparents and didn't get to see them often. I'm glad that my son sees extended family more than I did as a kid.
