ILs were 4 hours away. When they were alive, they maybe visited once a year. My DC's were their 10th and 11th grand children and they were burnt out. WE tried to visit 3 times a year.

Mine at 7 hours away and they maybe visit once a year and we visit them 3 times per year. It is a sore spot for me. My DC;s were the irst and 2nd grandchildren for them, but they were nearing 70 at the time. Now in their 80's, they only come if we are hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas.

We probably go there 3-4 times and year, and they visit us about the same number of times. So we see each other on average at least every other month. It's nice.

This is us too. I have a big family and all my siblings are in the Northeast, so we go up there for 1-2 longer trips and a few long weekends every year. One of my siblings comes to visit here 2-3 times a year, and the others might come visit every other year or so (but they are more like 8 hours away). Grandparents come 3-4 times fora couple days each time. My husbands family is closer (about an hour) and we probably see them on average once a month.

Never.

Both of our parents are 3-4 hours away. They would love to come at least once a month but then we have visitors every other weekend. We did it when the kids were little but now that they can maintain relationships over phone/facetime and have busier weekends, we try to space out the visits more.

How often do you all visit nearby parents that live 3-5 hours away?

How often do they come visit you and your family?
