[quote=Anonymous]Depends if they're local or far away, whether they come to help or stay in guest-mode while visiting, etc etc etc.

My parents live across the country and come out to visit 2-3 times a year and I go out there 1-2 a year. Half their visits are just long weekends to see the grandkids, the other half are specifically timed to help us out during hectic times and they are indeed helpful.

MIL can be helpful, but FIL is not and when he's around, he stops MIL from helping and he wants it to be packaged deal with them. They also require that we pay for their international airfare for them to visit, so there are both financial limits to how often we can fly them out, as well as bandwidth limitations on our end to host. If we could get just MIL, we'd probably have her come out at least once a year and stay as long as she could manage, and would like, to be away from her normal life - probably a month or two at a time. For the time being though, MIL & FIL come out once every 2-3 years, for a couple weeks. I wish it were more often, honestly, but it's just not practical given FIL's behavior. [/quote]
