I don't know. My family has never, in my lifetime, placed high importance on extended family relationships. It was just my parents, my sisters, and me, for the most part.
My father's sisters are all extremely loud and obnoxious, but they're also extremely loving. They have good intentions and don't realize they are annoying, so I try not to hold it against them.
My mother and her sisters have always been extremely competitive with each other, from their looks and their weight to the success of their children. The alliances between them are always shifting depending on the situation, so it's a bit chaotic, but it keeps things interesting.
I love my paternal grandparents much more than my maternal grandparents. Our house is very close to my father's parents' house, so we would often visit them. My father's mother was schizophrenic, so I never got to know the real her. She was always sick. But I was still her favorite grandchild and she thought I was a literal angel from Heaven so it was always fun to hear her sort of worship me, even though she was clearly not all there. My grandfather is a great, loving man. I know that my father learned to be such a good honest man from him, and I hope I can be just as good as them when I am older. I should go see my grandfather more often because I don't know how much longer he will be alive.
My maternal grandparents have never been close to me. This is because they were busy taking care of my cousin after his mother (my aunt) went into a vegetative state after a car accident when I was five. My sisters have very different childhood experiences from my own because they remember what it was like to have grandparents before the accident. My aunt's condition severely affected my grandparents and they were never really able to have relationships with the rest of the family after that.
So yeah, I went way in-depth with that

the results, i prefer my mother's side too.
