How often do you see your parents?

I have been thinking alot about this lately. We live by my DH's parents and see them about 2 times a week. They live about 20 minutes from us. My parents live a little over an hour from us and we see them about once a week, sometimes it's every other week if we are away or really busy.

How often do you see yours of DH or FI's parents? Let me know if you have children too, as I'm sure that affects the number of times!

The reason I'm asking is because MIL watches SIL's baby everyday while she works half days. Even if she's not watching the baby, they usually see each other practically every day- is that normal?

Thanks! It's been hard adjusting to not living close to my parents and I need to see what other people do!

Re: How often do you see your parents?

I see my dad probably once every two to three weeks. Even though he is Manhattan and me in downtown Brooklyn, I do not see him as much as I would like, but we talk on the phone constantly!!! FH sees his parents once every 1 or 2 months!! They are ALL the way on the island, he is in Brooklyn with me.
