I did not have grandparents like this at all; my paternal grandparents were overwhelmed simply by interacting with us at all, and maternal grandparents were only concerned with themselves, and while they didn't actively dislike us per se, it was like they were all very elderly from my birth onwards. Just sort of an afterthought. It's not like grandparents today who seem very involved in the lives of their grandkids. I didn't dislike them save for my maternal grandmother who pitted her children against one another and liked triangulating people, and when she died left her two older daughters 25K each and left all of the rest to the youngest, which was heaps more, but none of them were particularly involved. They never would have gotten me orange juice or paid any attention to something I mentioned. So if you have these grandparents, you're lucky!
