[quote=Anonymous]We didn't regularly visit or Facetime my ILs much before we had kids. We saw them for holidays and things we might have traveled home for but we did not have regular visits and they hardly ever traveled to visit us. We never talked to them on Facetime. I did not get the memo that they were expecting Facetime a couple of times a week and regular long/extended visits after our first was born.

My parents didn't not have any desire to increase their frequency in visits, talking on video chat or really make much of an effort to get to know their grandchild.

I wish my ILs had been more upfront about what their expectations were before the baby the baby was born.

I'm guessing your parents will want to visit at least every month and if possible all the holidays big and small. I would talk to your DH and see what you feel comfortable with and then talk to your parents to see what their expectations are so you can find some sort of common ground. I wouldn't set much in stone because you might change your mind and what more or less help after the baby is born.[/quote]
