None, they live on the other side of the country!
We see both of our families upwards of 5 times a month, but neither of us feels obligated to see each others family every single time we visit. He's fine with it if he goes to see his parents alone and I'm fine with it if he doesn't come with me to see mine. :)
Well, I am over their house everyday, but I think I actually SEE them once a week. They know I am there though, I'll bring milk, or cookies or soda over for them.
My vote was for 5 to 8 times but when you changed the poll options it moved my vote to 1 to 4!
Living with them at the moment. So every.single.day....
Don't get me wrong, we're greatful and it's really helping us save for bar exam expenses and a down payment. Just some days are harder than others!
1-4 times a month. But mostly his mom comes here. His parents were having issues and my FI doesn't want to deal with his dad and can't understand why his mom is still putting up with his dads bs. So she comes to see us because we enjoy each others company but FI doesn't like to go there anymore.
DH's parents live 5 minutes from us, so we visit them about 3 times a week, so definitely more than 8 times a month. We used to live with them, too. I don't mind because I love them to pieces!
Mr.ND still lives in his folks' basement, so when I visit him, I see them. With our dance lessons mid-week, I think I spend 4-5 nights a week there. Like @lawgirl12: said, it's great for bills, but I think the space after we're married when we've got our own place will be great for the NDBee-IL relationship ;-)
Once maybe twice every 2 months. Definitely more than I see my mom.
We go over there for dinner twice a month on average.
I wouldn't say your bf is visiting excessively....I'm very close to my family, too. I prefer when my FI comes with me, but he doesn't always have to.
I see them about once every 2 months. They live an hour from me, as opposed to 30 min from my SO-- so SO sees them about 1-2x per month without me.
We see our relatives and inlaws maybe once per year. Neither of us is interested in seeing them more often than that. We speak to our own folks on the phone probably once a month and email them more often.
We usually see my mother once a week and his mom either every week or every other week. My mom lives pretty close so it's easy to see her. His mom lives farther upstate so we may not go every week.
His father lives really far so we almost never see him. I'm very happy about that. So is FI.
Well right now I see them less than once a month because I live 5 hours away. But after April I will be living in the same city again so I hope to see them much more often. I'd say it will probably be 1-2 times per week!
@MissBoPeep: Ugh sorry, didn't realize it would do that. I just wanted the choices in order :(
@Jinxstar: This is how I was when I was away at college. I saw my parents every three months, called every week to every 2 weeks, and emailed my mom constantly. I didn't feel the need to see them in person though. I guess my boyfriend really likes being around his parents. I wouldn't say he's closer to them, because I'm closer to my parents than he is to his, but I don't feel the need to see them all the time like he does.
I see my FMIL about 6 times a year (lives 3 1/2 hours from us) and I have seen my FFiL twice (he lives in canada about 20 hours from us). I see my own parents a little more maybe once every 4 or 6 weeks or so.
My ILs live 10 hours away so we only see them a few times a year. It ends up being about once every other month. There's no way I could see them several times in a week/month!
We see them probably once every other month or so. They live 2 hours away including a ferry ride that costs 50 bucks for just us or almost 300 to bring a vehicle. One of us usually makes the trip and stays for a weekend abou that often.
Depends on who it is. The one family member of FI's that I see the most is a cousin of his who lives within walking distance of his apartment (said cousin also happens to know my older sister), and that's at LEAST once or twice a week I'd say. FI's mom I don't see very often; it mostly depends on whether or not she has any business calling her into mine and FI's hometown. Last time I saw her was on Saturday when she was either passing through town or bringing FI something. I would not be surprised if it's at least a couple of months before I see her again. I've never met/seen his dad, though. I"ve seen his brother twice.
On the other hand how often my FI sees my mom and stepdad (whom I'm still technically living with, but I'm "living" with FI part-time) depends on when/if he has any business calling him to my house. (Hasn't met my real dad in person but has met him over the phone once.) Last time he's seen them was roughly two weeks ago when he came over to help with something.

Tonight my SO went to go see his family for the second time this week. I was going to go, but honestly I am tired from work and wanted to relax some by myself at home. Plus we went to see them already earlier in the week, so I didn't feel the need to go see them again. Of course my SO feels differently and was a little bummed I didn't go along with him. But my family all live 2,000 miles away and seeing his family constantly sometimes makes me realise just how much I do miss them. But even if they did live 10 minutes away like his do, I still wouldn't see them more than like 4 times a month probably. So how many times do you see your in laws and do you think my boyfriend is being a bit excessive in his visits?
