How often do you....
Talk to your parents?
See your parents?
I talk to my Mom almost every day....mostly on FB, and then about every other day or so on the phone. I talk to my Dad when my Mom hands over the phone to him or if I call their house....or if I have a "dad question" (usually about my car etc.)
I don't see them nearly as much as I'd like to. Maybe once a month or so. My parents are in Maine during the summer and I havent been up there yet (going this weekend!!)
H sees his Dad every day (they work together) We see his Mom about once a month. She lives down the street from us, but she's always out running around and we're just as busy too!

Re: How often do you....
I talk to my mom everyday on the phone for a few minutes.. we have a great relationship, and we live a state apart from eachother so we feel that we need t catch up every morning on our drive to work
I see my parents about once every 2-3 weeks now that we moved 3 hours away from them. I wish we were closer, but such is life.
DH talks with his dad almost every day as well. He works along side him aswell, so that is why. We see his parents much more since we live very close to them.
Not often enough.
I talk to my Mom about once a week plus random comments, etc. via Facebook (lame, I know). I talk to my Dad maybe every other time I talk to my Mom. We see them once every few months. We live about 3 hours away in seperate states and can't really stay at my parents house so it's tough getting home.
H's Mom calls him every couple of days, his Dad calls maybe every other week. We see them a little more often than my parents because they'll meet us half way for lunch or they'll come up for a visit. We also usually stay with them when we visit home.
I talk to my mom everyday. We used to work together so I used to see her and my step dad everyday. Now I see my mom about once a week. My dad however we speak via text about every few weeks and I speak to my step mom via text at least once a week. We try to see them once a month but sometimes it's every 2 months. They live in another state.
We talk to H's step mom daily. Plus I see her a couple times a week when she comes to visit MIL. And of course we talk to/see MIL daily. FIL we usually speak to him once a week and see him every few weeks.
I talk to my mom on the phone every other day usually. I talk to my dad on the phone maybe twice a month, but we text each other a few times a week.
We see my parents about twice a month, and same for H's parents. H talks to his mom on the phone probably every other day too. He doesn't talk to his dad on the phone too often, but they usually work together on Saturdays so they see each other then too.
I talk to my mom every couple days depending on the week.. sometimes it's more. We see her about once a month.. we live about 2.5 hours away from her. We often email while at work.
I used to talk to me dad via text probably once a day...i'd hear something random that I wanted to text him about.. after I moved out he had to go get an unlimited texting plan on his phone becuase he opend his cell bill one month to a 20$+ texting bill. I'd talk to him on the phone maybe once a week.. I miss our random texts...
H's parents live in the same city as us so we see them considerably more. Probably see them at least once a week. Don't talk to them on the phone well... ever... not big phone people. But we'll drop by their place or them by ours probably once a week. H and FIL are in the same trade so H often sees his dad more when he needs to borrow tools or something.
I talk to my mom everyday on the phone. We have always had a very close relationship. My family also does a family get-together once a week. He sees his dad everyday at work. And we go to their house at least once a week as well. I have been seeing more of my parents now that H is out of town. His mom has Scout camp that she cooks for Three weeks of July and only comes home on weekends.
Because of my nephew I was seeing them at least 3 times a week either picking him up or dropping him off, but they have just gone on vacaction for a month and have taken D with them, so I'll see them in 2 weeks when we go to the cottage, but otherwise will probably only email them once or twice.
H's parents go to thier cabin for 6 months of the year, so they call every wednesday when they are in the largest town and can get cell reception. When they are in town for a weddkend or something they call me or H at least 3 times a day and it gets to be a bit much... in the winter when they live here we probably talk to them every few days and see them about once a month.
My Blog:Through My Eyes
Wow- I am clearly in the minority.
Most of the time I talk to my mom once every couple of weeks. My dad usually texts me daily/ every other day with joke-y kinds of things, but he and I hardly ever talk on the phone.
Most of the time we see them once a year, because they refuse to come visit us- We don't have the money or vacation time to travel from Colorado to Alabama more than just at Christmas.
The wedding has made me realize just how much baggage our relationship has. They still think of me and treat me like a rebellious teenager and clearly still favor my brother more than me, so it's really hard for me to have an adult relationship with them.
I never talk to H's parents, and he mainly emails with his mom maybe once a week (he does some IT stuff for her business). We only see them once a year, too- They're also in Alabama and never visit.
My parents live less than 5 mins from DH and I. I probably talk to my mom everyday either on the phone or text, but there are some days where we don't talk. We have family dinner on Sundays at my parents house with my brother and my sister and her husband and son. So we at least see each other once a week. Sometimes more if I stop by after work.
DH's parents lives about 6 hours away and we have only seen them once since Christmas and that was for our wedding, well and MIL came for my shower a few weeks before the wedding. We will see them in September for a family wedding and then again at Thanksgiving. DH talks to them about once a week on the phone, and MIL email a few times a month.
Well, living in Europe definitely means I don't see my family very often...
I talk to my mom maybe once a week (sometimes less) and we email frequently. My dad I rarely talk to (parents are divorced) but every few months I'll call him and we email once in a while. It's not a bad relationship or anything, we just don't communicate very often. Both parents have been to Switzerland a few times in the 7 years I've been here. Generally, I see my mom twice a year (though with the wedding this year, it was more since I made a few extra trips) and dad less - I think once we went for 3 years without a visit which surprised us both when we realized it!!
Since H's family lives about an hour from us, we see them more regularly - maybe once a month or so. They don't really talk on the phone unless it's to arrange something.
