how often do you host your in-laws....how often do they visit your home?

Question

just doing some general comparing. Would like to know from daughter-in-laws, how often do your in-laws visit your home?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Well my inlaws live hours away so they only visit about once a year! My sisters inlaws visit about once a week and usually show up unannounced which really catches her off guard. I do know that if my mother in-law lived closer she would be here all the time or wanting us to visit her all the time.

Answer 2

My father in law and his wife live in Kentucky and we have not seen them in 2 yrs. I would welcome a visit from them, just not over night. My little one doesn't sleep well and over night guests would just be too disruptive.

My mother in law comes here every few months for a few hours at a time and that is more than enough. She lives an hour and a half away and wants us to go up there on weekends but I refuse because she is nice and sweet when my husband is in the room and a nasty, 2 faced, cruel bitter woman who makes comments like "My son needs to realize there is more to life than you and that baby" when ever she gets me alone, last time she had me alone for 30 seconds and she attacked. Her occasional visit here is more than enough.

My parents live only 1/2 hour away and they visit here 3 or 4 times a year but usually just to get out of the house every couple of weeks I go there with the kids for about 3 or 4 hours. They treat my husband and kids great and it gives me a break.

Answer 3

My wife wanted me to answer this for her. Her in-laws (my parents) have not "visited" our place in the 2 plus years that my wife and I have known each other. It is just for the simple fact that they are very busy, in their 70's and we live in a single wide mobile home. Any more than just the 2 of us here and it gets crowded.
My in-laws live 7 hours away. They try to visit a couple of times a year. We do keep in touch with them through e-mails and phone calls though.

Answer 4

My difficulty is in all likelihood unique. After vacationing the rustic for some years, i finished up some years in the past paying for some condominium condos in Downtown Philadelphia only 5 blocks from the place i replaced into born. whilst i replaced right into a toddler, the community replaced into only above a slum. The housing replaced into deteriorated and the community replaced into only this area of risky. We rented a third floor rear place of abode in a development that replaced into erected in 1763 and replaced into in probability of cave in. My father replaced into presented the development for $5000 and grew to become it down as a bad investment. properly, very almost 3 quarters of a century later, those colonial residences have been restored. The community is now upscale, the residing house has an historic Society plaque upon its face and it replaced into maximum recently bought 2 years in the past for...$a million,275,500. Dad, what did you do to me? each and each time i'm on the city (I stay in Miami sea coast now) I walk previous my birthplace and cry bitter tears! Nah. i'm able to smile because of the fact I made my own way contained in the international and besides the actuality that a million and 1 / 4 money sounds extremely effective, we are able to stay without it. in spite of each thing, i'm able to proceed to exist Purina Cat Chow; i don't choose IAMS. I unquestionably have great recipes for baked and fried Purina! The handle is 710 Pine highway, Philadelphia, PA while you're contained domestically and prefer to throw a rock in the process the window for me. only kidding. Whoever owns it extremely is fortunate and blessed. fortunate to be residing on streets the place Ben Franklin, Tom Jefferson and George Washington walked and blessed in that my spirit nevertheless protects people who stay therein.

Answer 5

I've been lucky and havent had to host them yet. This year with a newborn, that will change. I expect they will visit once a month. Right now we go and visit them once a month (they are about an hour away). That is reasonable. It depends on how close your husband is with them. You could always rotate visits. One time you go there and visit and the next, they come to you and visit.

Answer 6

We usually see my in-laws once a week. We live one town away from them, and we usually take turns visiting each other's home. For example, one week we'll go to their house, and the next week, they'll visit us at our house. We usually host a meal and play games or watch a movie. It works out well.

Answer 7

I'm an exception to most. I LOVE my inlaws and if they weren't so busy, I wouldn't mind seeing them everyday. I stay at home during the day with my 2 kids (4yr and 10 mo), go to school at night and work on the weekend, so unfortunately I don't see them as much anymore, but they used to either come to our house once or twice a week or we were at their house at least every weekend. They're wonderful people and I'd rather be around them than my side of the family.

Answer 8

Hardly ever and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I think it's important for my daughter to see all her grandparents as much as possible, but on the other hand they were dreadful parents and drive me nuts when they're around.

Answer 9

my father is for the time being living with us
my mother in law hardly visits because my mom and her don't get along and my mom lives right next door
before i lived next to my mom my mother in law lived with us
I think they are part of my family i welcome them anytime and would be more then happy to play host when they are there
we get along pretty well for the most part

Answer 10

We go to both of our sets of parents house at least once a week. My in-laws come over for dinner to our house about once every two weeks.
