They do both tbh
It's a bit of both. My mum struggles with her mobility, so she does things with my little boy that can be done sitting down, like reading books with him, singing songs with him & playing catch. That's pretty much what my husband's mum does with him as well, though, and there is nothing wrong with her mobility, so it must just be a nanny thing ☺️ My stepdad & my husband's Dad do the playing football in the hallway & throwing him up in the air with him, so the more physical things.
My in laws are around their 70s but they play all along with my toddler. My mom is younger, not in good health so she is limited BUT she is not on her phone ever. I personally wouldn't bring my kid somewhere to just sit on his own the whole time. That would seriously bother me. Why would anyone be with someone who just sit on their phone ? I m very sorry if that happens to you. Maybe limit their time with your baby to get more quality time ?
My mum and dad has become very active with him over the past few years . 🥰✨🤌
my parents play with our son, he has his own toys and room there, he’s not over much but when he is all they do is things revolving around him my bf’s parents don’t do anything with him, they’ll hand him a phone or expect him to play with someone that isn’t anything in their house or get into anything or make any messes, or they’ll play with him enough to get him to smile for a picture and then ignore him the rest of the time
It’s exhausting! 🥵
Mine always take my son out with his cousins so mixed between cousin play and outings x
My mom does both
My mil plays with them. My parents interact with them but don't play as much.
If my son goes to my Dad's house because we are working then he will take him out for most of the day. On the train or to the park then normally a sausage roll or a happy meal whilst they are out 😄. My Mum has various health issues so she is less hands on, she would struggle to have him all day. She only lives 2 mins from a park but she would never take him, I think she feels nervous. I don't hold it against her. My partners mum and dad are really good. He has older nieces so their house has all the good kids stuff already there and they will always build a train track or paint or go to the park! He's quite lucky really!!
My parents play with them, my daughter thinks nanny is her play mate! my mil dosent play and my fil will take them out either on the bus which they love or in the garden if it’s nice or to sit on his moped but never actually gets down and plays with toys with them xx
My grandparents (his great grandparents) play with him non stop and take him out to soft plays, walks and the park
My MIL is and has always been an teacher for reception/yr1 classes so she does all sorts with him, takes him out does activities, he helps prepare meals , he does more with her then he even does at home 😂 (he’s 3) x
My in-laws practically do nothing. My parents are always playing with them
I understand that.. my dad just stays on his phone. 😒 My mom can't really 'play' with him because she has cancer and barely has energy but she tries to..
