On my mom's side, they lived pretty far away during most of my growing up years but whenever we did visit them it was a big thing, talking like week-long visits and we'd go out and do all sorts of things together, museums, restaurants, etc etc.
On my dad's side, they lived relatively close (1 hour drive) but honestly did not leave the house very much. I have a large extended family on that side and they have a large countryside house so we'd often host family get-togethers there, and basically the only time I ever saw them outside their house was when someone else hosted the get-together and they attended it. I also can't say I interacted with them a ton because I had a bunch of similar-age cousins to play with instead.
Neither really feel like an A or a B to me, they're both around just in different ways
