How often should you visit your mom??

I also feel bad for not visiting my mother more often than I am visiting now. But whenever I visit I will stay atleast 2 days with her. But we have to find out more time to spend with our parents. We should fullfill their wishes and make them happy.

Sounds like she is having a case of the lonesomes to me. Is your father still living? If not then that is probably why she is asking you to visit more. You and the grandaughter give her stability in her life that she doesn't have when you are not around. I use to stop into my moms everyday just to say hi and make sure she didn't need anything. I always figured I wasn't always gonna have her with me, so I wanted to do all I could for her while she is here. I miss her so much now that she is not with me anymore and I do not regret all the times that I just stopped in to say hi....really made her day and let her know that I was thinking about her.

I see my mom once or twice a week, and that's usually not socially - but because I occasionally work in the same office as her, and so we cross paths when I do that. Otherwise on holidays. It's actually kind of sad, though, because she only lives about 4 miles from me; but we've never really had that grand "mother-daughter relationship" that I hear so much about - and so there's really no need for me to visit her 24/7. If you have a good relationship with your mother, and you both enjoy visiting - I don't think there is SUCH THING as "too often". The more you visit your mom & spend time with her, the less you're taking her for granted.
