[quote=Anonymous]I agree that 2 or 3 times a week sounds like a ton---unless they are in the same exact area/neighborhood, e.g., Arlington or McLean for instance.

My parents live 20-25 minutes south of me down I-95.  READ: tons of traffic.  During rush hour- double this time.  I can make it on the HOV lanes in non-peak hours about 20 min.

My parents come to my kids' weekend sports games.  My kids go for a sleepover once a month.  Occasionally- they will come over to meet us for lunch.  We do holidays and birthdays together.

But my kids are elementary school-age.  they are in school 9-3:45 and then have sports practice (between the two of them 2-4 nights per week).  When the hell would we see them during the week???

I also work.  I WAH so my mom has come for lunch once in awhile.  We are about 3-4 times per MONTH.  We talk on the phone about 3 times per week.  My boys are VERY close to my mom and dad.  My oldest just wrote a paper about grandpa as his favorite person:).

I used to work down the hall from my dad so that was nice for about 5 years until he retired:).[/quote]
