How often do you visit your in-laws?

I only have a father in law, we see him mostly about once a month, sometimes we will go to his house and other times he will come to our house. He came to ours for tea yesterday. Sometimes we may see him more it just depends on what is happening and how busy we are all with our own lives. He lives about forty five minute drive from our house. Sometimes we see a lot of him but not always. We talk on the phone at least once a week.

I lost my husband to cancer, but i did not lose the relationship with my in laws. i am still very close to them and consider them to still be a big part of my family.

Since my in-laws live in another province. Although it is not so far away, it takes about 2 hours going there by bullet train. But the cost is expensive. And it is not easy to but the tickets when it is in the holidays. Besides, we don't have long holidays. So usually we just visit them few times every year. It will be much more convenient for them go here anyway. I love China

Hello there! On my part, if my in-laws are just living not too far away from us, I guess I would want to pay them a visit even once weekly. I think my husband would love it if I will visit his mom frequently coz it will also make his mom happy, and even I will be happy if my husband do the same to my parents, I feel like it will make us even closer. Now, since my husband and I are living far from our parents, we are just able to visit them once every year. That was the only available time we both have due to his line of work and our parents understand very well our situation. as to you, I think you can visit your in laws more often, but that was if you want to, not only in time of need. i guess your wife will be happy if you will visit her parents more often.

we visit our in-laws at least twice a week,normally at the weekend we go back to the hometown to visit them,it's not so far away,because we are in the same city,driving the car need about half an hour that we can arrive at our hometown. As our parents is getting older and older they really like the children often going back to visit them,otherwise they will feel lonly or something.So if you have time please go to visit your in-laws as many times as you can.

I don't have any in-laws but I live about 1-1/2 hrs from my family and I haven't been there in about a year but going Friday. It's hard to travel by myself with a toddler, taking time off from work and with the gas prices so high I can't afford the gas to get up there and back. The thing is my family & friends don't come up my way very often which I think should be a 2 way street. So the answer to your question is every 6 months isn't unreasonable at all if you like pretty far away.

As I do not work in a faraway city and rarely have chances to visit them during working school terms, I can only visit them during summer and winter vacations. Once I get back to my hometown for the vacations, I do visit them a lot together with my wife and children. I love my in-laws and they treat me like their own son. They are as dear as my own parents. Take care, friend.

I live with my mother-in-law so I see her every day. My husband and I usually visit my mom at least once per month. I think this is reasonable. You don't want months to pass and you do not visit. Then they will think you only go when you need something. Also, if something were to happen to them you will regret not visiting more often.

I think when one is so busy at work and cannot just absent himself from work, then it is understandable that you get to see them occasionally only. What is important though, is for you to permit your wife to visit her parents too , once in a while even with out you.

I think it is imperative to visit your in laws. Visiting them is not actually a responsibility, but they are your family now. It's good to pay them a visit in order to build or improve a better relationship with them.

My in-laws place is 150 Kms away from my place & my wife often visits her parents & forces me to join her. But I rarely visit them, say twice or thrice a year. One thing I like visiting their place is I get to have nice delicious food all the day. I stay only for 2 days maximum & in these 2 days, I eat different varieties of dishes. We shouldn't visit them only when there is a need & if we do that, we are giving them a chance to talk about us badly not directly though. Visiting in-laws place twice a year is fair I think.

My parents-in-law live not so far from my house, but we do not visit them as often as before. Partly, because now we have a child and so there's not much time available. I was some kind of not feel "be at home" when I was staying at their house. I don't know if you have the same feeling?
