How often do you visit your relatives??

This is really true that younger people have become gradually lost connections with family. My immediate family live over thousands of miles away from where I stay but I do visit home as often as possible and visit extended family occasionally.

there is nothing more important than family, sometimes young people dont realize it untill they get older.I know time is an issue for people with children and i try as a grandmother to go to my children to visit to make things easier for them. I have never let friends come between family and me.

I think i visit my family often enough, actually it's probably a little too often for my liking. Don't get me wrong, i do love my family but they have gotten a little over the top since my daughter was born, my Mum was having weekly visits which were getting too much so i cut it back to fortnightly (bi-weekly) & i still think it's too often - i don't want it to be a routine for my daughter, i think visits should be fun & unexpected. My Mum also pushes that we spend the night every time we're there & that's just insane! As for my partner's family, they live much closer now than they used to but they only drop by every so often or we only go out there every so often because they like us to have ou own lives without them crowding us & i appreciate that :) So yeah, with my family, i think we visit enough, possibly too much but it will change as time goes on, it's too hard to afford to drive all that way every other week just to keep my Mum happy, i need a life as well & think i need to have my own family time without being made to feel guilty for them not getting their own way!

I don't have that big of a family. Most of my mom's side live a state away so i don't seem them too often. We have tried to be closer lately though, and I like that. There are some relatives that I really don't want to be around because of their past, but I still try to atleast keep in touch via phone. There are other family that no matter how hard you try to stay in contact with them, they still manage to blow you off somehow-- and that really bothers me. They will be the first to complain when something happens, and it's really their fault that they didn't stay in touch. I have two close family members that live near me, and we are always in contact. I have several family members on my husband's side-- so they are like my adopted family and we are also all very close and stay in contact. It's always good to stay in touch with family in case you need them, like you said.

I live about 250 km from my parents and usually I go home once a month. It's about my time, usually I work 2 weekends a month because I can't do all my work in worktime. One weekend I go to have party with my friends and another one I visit my parents. I know I should go home more - but now I don't know how can I do it. I must to work here - all stuff's where I live. But when I go to holiday usually I am with my parents half of my holiday...
