Please note that nearby and far is what YOU consider close and far. If you think an hour away is far, then please click the far away option.
Thank you!
DH's parents live 10 minutes away, we rent from them, and I love hanging out with them. We go over to their place every Monday for dinner/games/hang out time, and occasionally we'll do lunch on Sunday for special occasions (like birthdays, Mother's Day, etc). I love my in-laws!
My parents, we probably see 1-2x a month, just because they live almost an hour from us and they're very, very busy.
We see both my parents and his parents a couple of times a year. They both live a plane ride away from us (and in opposite directions so we can't see both in a single trip).
These visits often coinside with holidays, but not always.
We normally go to my FIL's for dinner every other week or so. They live about 20 minutes away. I see my parents every weekend since my mom and I normally go garage saleing every Saturday. My parents live about 20 minutes in the opposite direction. It's nice to have both families so local.
Both our parents live a half hour away in different directions. We see them both at least once a week, if not more.
When they lived close we used to see them about once a month, his parents have moved across the country though and his sister has moved across the province so we will probably only see them once or twice a year now
I have never met my FMIL....hopefully I will at the wedding but we are are having some trouble with obtaining a visa. She lives in Africa so when we are married I think it will only be once a year or every other year that we see her.
Usually about 3 times a year. This year there are a TON of weddings in DH's home state so we will see at least my MIL more often. They live far, either a 10 hour car ride or a 2 hour plane ride. And they don't ever come out to visit us (don't get me started on this) so the pressure is on us to visit them.
We visit both of our parents every week or so, sometimes every other week, or sometimes more than once a week!
ETA: They both live about 15 minutes away from us.
My FIL's live in California and we live in NC so we rarely see them. They don't come here ever, we have to go out there to visit. My parents live in NY and we usually go visit once a year and then they come visit us about 3 times a year.
We see them once a week... They live 10 minutes away from us so we usually drop by after work or on the weekends. Thankfully they are the best in-laws ever and I love spending time with them! I live far from my parents and miss them terribly, FI's parents really took me in as one of their own and I couldn't be happier/more grateful for my fabulous in-laws!
DHs parents live 10 hours (driving) away. So far we have seen them about 4 times this year but its been more than usual. Normally we see them maybe every other or every 2 months. Part of it is that my SIL lives about 45 mins from us and has 3 kids so they go to visit their grandbabies fairly often and we see them while they are up.
we used to live nearby, and so then we'd see them once a week or so, usually for a weekly dinner. now we live further away-- dh goes home 4 times a year to go into his office for work (he works from home but his office is near his parents'), so he sees them more than i do. i've only gone back for thanksgiving and for wedding-related events since we moved. they've come here twice since we've moved. since our wedding last august, i've seen them only over 2 weekends, once when they were here and once when we were there.
I'd say we see them every week or every other week. It really just depends. They live about 40 minutes away. My parents live 3 hours away and we really only see them on holidays, and maybe once during the summer.
EDIT- whoops, I voted even though I'm not a newly wed.
We see them about every other week...they live about a 25 minute car ride or 40 minute subway train ride from us. My parents live the same distance away and we see them about the same amount.
My in-laws live about 20 mins from us - we used to go like 3-4 months w/o seeing them. But since we have been married, we see them on average, about once a month.
My parents live 2.5 hours away and we see them only a few times a year.
I work for my FIL...but in acutality, he rarely comes to the office so weeks can go by before I see him.
I genuinly enjoy hanging out with my MIL, so we typically see her once a week or so. I see his siblings multiple times a week.
Everyone lives with 20 minutes of each other.
We see my parents less since they live on the other side of the county (which is really only about 30 minutes away), but they also still have school-aged children. That means most of thier time is occupied by my younger siblings.
We see his dad and step mom about everyother week, as well as My mom and stepfather. We see his mom about once a month sometimes more time in between than that. And we see my dad maybe twice a year maybe a bit more. Whenever he comes here or we can get out there.. He lives in AZ we live in IL. I consider that far away all of our other inlaws are 10-15 minutes away and I consider that close.
I see them every couple of months and they live neaby. He sees them at least once a month, sometimes more...
You don't have an every day option! lol. But we live with MIL for the time being and BIL, SIL, other BIL all live next door. And then the other 10-12 brothers/sisters are around the same neighborhood. It seems crazy but it's kinda fun to always be around family and 25 nieces and nephews :) I see MY family about once a week or once every two weeks. Boooooooooooo.
My in-laws live two hours away and we see them one weekend every one or two months. We go down there for nearly every holiday and all birthdays. My mom lives two thousand miles away so we see her once or twice a year.
We go for Sunday dinner every week, but they just live across the city. (My OWN family lives four hours away and we only see them 3-4 times a year)
I'm a bad daughter in law. We live nearby both sets of parents, and we rarely see either. I see mine maybe once a month or every other month and I see his on holidays. He tends to go over to his parents house solo about once a week. To be fair to me, I work A LOT more than he does, and have the wedding to plan and the house to take care of...and Im totally making excuses right now.
About every other year, they live in England.
ETA: We saw my parents at Christmas + New Year, we're planning on going again for 4th of July, after that I'm not too sure.
After reading the responses on this thread I feel like a really bad daughter in law!
We live about 10 minutes from the ILs, but we're moving to the subdivision right across the street in 2 months!
We see them usually once every week or other week. It varies. DH works with his dad so he sees him every day and I'm subbing at the school where his mother works so I see her fairly often too. But we sit down for dinner maybe every other weekend.
Maybe once a year. Things are extremely awkward and I'm pretty sure they hate me anyway so it's fine.
My FIL lives within driving distance (3hrs), but we only see him maybe 2 times/year on average. Always around Christmas some time and usually one other time. My MIL lives a plane ride away (actually, 2.... stupid lack of direct flights) and we don't see her very often at all. More this year because of her wedding and ours, but before those two events I'd only ever met her once and my DH had seen her only 3 times total in about 3.5 years. Going forward I imagine we'll try to see her about once per year.
I see mine everyday! I live with them and I love it! lol My FI lives with his aunt at the time (to save money and his family feels we shouldn't live together before marriage and we respect it) so since I was living 5 hours away and every one (including my FIL's) were tired of me not being here all the time I came one time and never left!
I live 1,000 miles from my FIL (MIL passed away) and 3,000 miles from my family. We only see either of them on major holidays (and I like it that way!)
My husband works out of state from March-September, and his family only lives about 20 minutes away, so I see them pretty frequently! They check on me a lot! If they are in my town they will take me to dinner, etc. I actually had dinner with them tonight!
My parents live 2 hours away, and I see them about once a month, sometimes more.
We live in the NW, my husband's family lives on the east coast. We usually see them about twice per year (one major holiday and some other time of the year).
Not married yet but it wont change after we are married. With the exception that we might not even see them once a year like we do now. They live in AZ while we are in TX and they hate coming out here... we hate AZ. lol.
About once a year (at the most) for both sets of parents. Mine live in Indonesia, his live in the States...so yeah it is way too expensive to fly from NZ for anything other than a really special occassion. Which sucks a bit, because I know we would both like to see them more. I have no idea how we will choose who to spend holidays like Christmas with! Probably alternate between the two families every other year.
FMIL lives about 7 minutes from us. We usually see her at least once a week for Scrabble night and then again on the weekend when FBIL has his children. FBIL just moved to Portland so we'll probably see him every two weekends. FFIL lives in California so we only see him on special occasions. FSIL lives in Denmark so we see her about once a year or during very very special occasions.
We never see my family. I'm estranged from my mother & brother and my father is deceased.
I miss being able to see my ILs every week. They used to live about 15mins away from us then they retired to GA two years ago. Now we see them a couple times a year?
My family lives a 6 hours drive away so we usually see them 4-5 times a year. But they hardly ever come visit us so it's always us drive down to see my family.
I miss having family near by SO much. We're family people.
I think we kind of kept to ourselves after we just got married(December) especially because I kept getting sick over and over, and same with DH, all winter(I'm a teacher) so the in-laws and my family wouldn't want to get sick either. Now that we are more settled in, we've been seeing them more, more like once a month I guess?
Our families live a good drive away, but not THAT far. My parents are about an hour and a half away or less, and his parents are about 2 or more hours away. His parents used to live 15 or 20 mins away so this is actually better that they moved. I did enjoy having them closer by at times though(this was before we got married) because I definitely enjoyed seeing them a lot(at times).
