How often do you see your parents?

[Smellyoldconverse]

Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly etc?

Every week pretty much,
In laws I see every 2-3 months as they live in a different city but we tend to stay with them when we visit so spend a few days at a time there

Couple of times a week and speak by message to mum daily

My parents 2/3 times a year for a few days at a time (300 miles away and they’re not up to travelling much). We talk on the phone once a week.

FIL - twice a year for lunch. DH speaks to him on the phone maybe 3/4 times a year and we might Zoom call once or twice.

MIL deceased.

When they were alive,2 or 3 times a year. They lived 250 miles away

Once a week. I may have to increase it as my mum is not very mobile now and my dad has to do everything, I think he could use the company (he doesn't NEED us yet but think he would like us there more often)

My sister also goes once a week and my bro probably once a month as he doesn't drive.

Few times a week for both my parents and in laws.

Once a week usually, I’m sure they would like more, but with working and kids at secondary school and their hobbies, it is not always easy.

2-3 times a year on average

Used to see them monthly or slightly more often. They lived 50 miles away so we'd go down to see them every 3-4 weeks. I phoned them once a week. We had a great relationship but had our own lives.

Every couple of months. They moved 200 miles away. They never ever phone me for a chat, which makes me sad. I have to phone them. But we do message regularly.

My dad's dead but we were estranged anyway. My mum, it averages maybe once every 5 years or so as we are very low contact. She'll message maybe 3-4 times a year, never calls. I used to make more effort until I got to the point of thinking "why bother" and really couldn't think of any reason to.

See each other 2-3 times a week as only live a 5 minute drive from each other. Speak on the phone or WhatsApp every day.

My mum I video call a couple of times a day and see every other weekend.
FIL speak a few times a week on the phone see twice a month.
And great grandparent we see a couple of times a month and speak every couple of days.
My dad's in HMP and I'm no contact.
MiL sadly no longer with us.

Both live within 1/2 hour (which I consider local) and I see them once a week

Text every few days, see every 6-8 weeks.

I live a 5 hour drive from my mum and visit her maybe 4 times a year, but will stay for 5-7 days at a time when I visit. She visits us around twice a year for a week each time. Speak on the phone maybe once a week.

My in laws live 30 mins away. We see them maybe every 2-4 weeks, but sometimes more depending. We're working during the week and they're offending travelling at the weekends so can be hard to find time.

Every day as my parents provide childcare

They only live 10 minutes away so regularly call in when they're passing

DH parents live 1.5 hours away, we see them once a month mostly, but over Christmas will be more with us down and them up to us

I see my Mum once a fortnight, we'll go out for the day or I'll go to hers if there are things she needs doing in the garden or house. Speak every Friday evening unless one of us is out. Message in between. She sends me her wordle every morning "so I know she's still alive" 😆She's about 40 mins away and in the opposite direction to work so difficult to just pop in. Trying to convince her to downsize and move closer so that I can help out more with shopping etc and can pop in for no reason.

It's about once a fortnight now. Not for very long , 2 hours at the most.

I'm considering reducing it, as they can't be bothered with me or DD. ...
although it may be as my DB gives them a difficult time (he's a recovering addict).

Mother once every month or two - would wish its less as she hard to deal with

Father - similar but talk every few days on phone - far better relationship
MIL - when lived closer nearly every day - now once a week or fornightly - she is lovely
FIL - is dead and missed so so much

One of them about every 2 or 3 weeks, the other about twice a year.

Mother once a year, dad maybe 3 times.

Mum - once a week (lives local)
dad - once every couple of months (for the last year, prior to that it was once a year/every other year, he lived abroad)
mil - weekly (local)

Maybe once or twice a month. They live 10 minutes away.
