How often do you visite your parents

My parents live in a different state--its like a 24 hour drive to get there. I fly home maybe twice a year to see them. I do miss them and I like to visit, but I love where I live and wouldn't move back closer to where I grew up.

Same here. Mjanne, you are not the only one who miss parents who are not staying in the same city with. I'm still considering myself lucky as it's about 2 hours drive from my home to my parents'. So, I normally went back like twice a month or the longest once a month. In between, I'll ring them up to chat and say hi to ensure they are in good condition. You can do so if you miss them. :)

In our law, it is the obligation of the parents to bread the children, and also the obligation of the children to support the parents. These days, it is said additional stipulations are imposed in certain regions, that the children are to provide emotional care as well as the material. They may be executed by frequent calls, regular visits, etc., of course based on sincere willingness, to make sure the aged are properly in peace. Even if the elderly say DRYLY they are able to care about themselves, do not take it for truth, it definitely adds DEW when you express your concern, or share your joy with them. The worst thing to do is to separate them with their grandchildren, who seem to be the last resort to keep dreamy for quite some of them.

i am working here in manila and my parents are living in the province. because of the distance i cannot visit them every time i like to, but i usually set schedules for that. I do it when i dont have much work loads in the office. I visit them during important legal holidays. I need to plan it so i have budget for travel, i also give money to my mother and father, as well as buying groceries for them. :) i miss them a lot, but i have to work here in manila, i am the bread winner in the family.

My and my mom live over 1100 miles from each other. We don't get to visit very often. We just recently went 4 years with out seeing each other. It's always been hard not being able to visit here and share in our special moments with her. Once we do get time together, we make the most of it.

hello... i also live in different city from my parent.i cannot visit them often due to some personal reason. i visit them 2 times a month.it is very hard for me especially when my dad is very ill right now.

I am very lucky. I live pretty close to my pareents (at least in the same town) and as they are getting much older I can check on them daily. I either call them or stop by every day to check and see if they need anything from the store or sometimes I just drop in and visit with them for awhile.

i work in another city ,it is long ditance from my parents.i just visit them one time every year.but i call them often when i had time.i miss them and wish them to be good .

I have to be with my parents on the following occassions : mom's bday, dad's bday, anniversary and christmas. If I have more time, I will visit them even without occassions. My travel time is usually 2 hours.

hi, mjanne, i share the same situation with you. and i live in the differnt city with my parents,520killometers away. in our souls and hearts, everyone wanna be with the parents everyday, to share our lives and sadness and happiness. wish our parents have a nice life and a nice everyday! and the same to you !

Hi mjanne, I live far away from my parents. I visit them about 2 times each year. I feel a little guilty because I don't visit them frequently. But I call them once each week. I know it is just not enough and my parents may think I'm not a good daughter.

yes, we are almost the same. After graduated from university, I came to a different city, but still I have time to visit my parents, maybe about 3 times each years. But when I got married, especially when I had my baby, I cant meet my mom and daddy, only one time each year in Chinese Spring Festival. But I call to my parents about every 2 days, which could repay my regret for not having time to visit them.

i also love in different city from my parents,i am working here so long distance that i vist them only time a year,i miss them very much,and i ring them up to chat very weeks,say hi to them ,talking about living and joking.

I'm a college student,far away from my home.I also miss my parent sand little brother.soI get intouch with them by telephone .I think you can through the internet.It's very convenient^_^

i seldom visit them although they don't live so long distance. my work so busy that i don't have enough time to visit them. i will take some time to visit them. they must be very happy. i have some dogs in my parients home. i will bring the dog walk in the street too.

my parents and also lived in a different city. I can often visit my parents, because it only takes 1 hour to place my parents. I can not often visit there. because I worked very hard to find and holidays.

Also i have a large distance with my mom who live a different province with my dad.Though i can`t often visit her,everyday,i must give her a call see if she is ok all day.we talked what happened,and some interesting things occured arround us ,on the phone.During this time,thanks of the phone keeping us closely~

I am homesick too. when i went to college it was so far away from home, and i just can go home twice a year. i miss my mom, dad and my older brothers so much. so when i graduded i choosed to work at a city near my hometown. Now i can visit my parents at weekend and holidays.
