Are you closer to your mom's side of the family or dad's?

I am very close to my mom’s side of the family. I talk to my grandma several times a day and usually go to her house everyday also. I talk to my mom’s sister and her youngest son everyday, and see them at least a couple times a week.

I grew up in the country with my dad’s family all around. My grandparents bought a lot of land and gifted each of their kids some land and most of the family lived out there. My grandma lived on the same driveway as us. I loved her and stopped by her house a lot to visit. She was very different from my other grandma. You didn’t ask for a drink and you didn’t dare walk on her carpet with shoes on. She wasn’t fun. I loved her, but she wasn’t fun to hang out with like my “Mimi”.

Are you closer to one side of you family that the other. Or are you close to neither side? I always thought it was weird I was so close in proximity to my dad’s family, but not emotionally close at all.
