Both mine and my parters parents separated and remarried, so pur LO has 7 grandparents! We only really see them once a month. My parents understand, but we always get guilt tripped by my in-laws! They want to see us multiple times a week, and it's just not possible! It's causing conflict, mainly because they're blaming me.

Mines live 90 odd miles away but my partner video calls them more often lol and my 2 sets of parents we see more often cos they live a lot closer and occasionally babysit

Once a year. And that’s sometimes too much lol
But yeah they live several states away

My mom is the only one really involved, as well as my grandparents.. no contact with my dad or in laws... and everyone lives 8+hrs away so only see them a few times a year

Maybe every 3 or so months? They only live 10 minutes, but they don’t bother with talking to us much unless it’s a birthday or holiday 🤷🏻♀️

Between a week and a fortnight, because our in-laws also guilt tripped us!
All our parents are also split and once FIL said "well they see your family more than they see us because we live further away" so I conducted a study and it actually turned out that they spent more time and occasions with the in-laws! 😅 When the in-laws visit they stay for hours or it's doing things out and about .. when my parents visit it's to help me because my partners at work or just a quick pop in though, no quality time!

I wish my husband's dad took an interest in seeing his granddaughter at all, let alone once a month. He straight up made it clear he wishes she had been a boy. His stepmother has always preferred her own kids over my husband and his brothers so she makes no effort, either. They live 20 minutes away and we would never see them if we didn't make the effort ourselves.

My parents live an hour away and we see them 1-2 times a week now so I can get a break while my husband works. Before we cut my in-laws out we’d see them and my parents just once a month so we’d still have time to do our own thing but they only live 30 minutes away. They complained so much about it too but worked during the week full time (my mom is only part time so I can see her during the week) so they were only available on weekends when they weren’t traveling which made it hard on us

My in-laws live in a different state, but are retired and well off $$ wise (relevant to traveling here to visit), they’ve been here 4 times including right now, to meet him. My mother we see once a month, she lives about an hour away.

Once or twice a month tops but my in laws are still married and just live a half hr away so occasionally they call if they r headed closer our way to get groceries to c if we’d want to meet up for dinner or something

Mine live states away so we don’t see them super often. I think if we lived in the same city we’d likely see them every week.

We’re right next to my in laws so my toddler goes there every morning for a couple hours and then we eat supper with them 6-7 days a week lol
My parents on the other hand once a month at the most.

They live across the world and we don’t speak the same language

At one point it was every 3 years. Now it’s every 18-24 months ✈️ we FaceTime every week though

2-3 times a year. We live 8hrs away. And it’s only because we make the effort. But my husband calls them once a week. They won’t do video calls but complain that they never see their grandkids. So yeah… haha

From Christmas to August maybe once a month during football season once a week lol

My in laws live in another country so it's like 3-4 times a year at the most.

My jn laws are still married and are only up the road so we see them at least once a week, my mom and her husband are over an hour away so we see them every other month but they FaceTime multiple times a day.
Unfortunately my dad passed away in the summer but we were seeing him daily

Once or twice a yr but I’d love it if it was less

Rarely. Maybe a handful of times a year... including when we only lived 20 minutes away.
My mom video calls every week & they come visit every 6-8 weeks. When we lived in the same state, they drove an hour (one way) to visit every week.

We’d love to see my in laws more but his dad lives 25 minutes away, is retired and far too busy to make plans 🙄 his mom moved 3 hours away when he was 12 so he’s never seen her that regularly anyway. We see my parents weekly and sometimes that’s still not enough for my mom and she gets jealous when I mention we are seeing his family, you can’t win!

Do what u can. Happy wife happy life. But a good rule of thumb is once a month for sure

Twice a year lol live abroad. I am also blamed but they eventually just have to accept the limitations on your time. I only see my mum once a month max as well and there is not so much distance. We are busy here working parents and she does not help or host so...

Once every few years
