Im very close to my mom buuutt i just dont have the energy to make plans with her every week so we text more often but not all day everyday. My partner on the othee hand always calling his family to check on them and they do the same almost everyday and throughout the whole day and also wants them to come over every weekend or us to go over there. I used to get upset but im starting to just meet in the middle i will usually go visit my mom once every two weeks and we either have his family over once a week or we go over. But depends if im in the mood lol
I speak to my parents weekly and probably see them every 2 weeks. I love my parents. There amazing for putting up with me when I was younger…I was such a trouble maker. My parents will always be there for me which means the world to me. I try to do the same for them.
I text my mom all day long and see her multiple times a week. I talk to my dad a few times a week and see him every few. My husband has no contact with either of his parents and has no problem with how often I talk to or see mine.

Well I’m the mom in the equation and my daughters text or talk to me everyday maybe ten or twelve times and multiple group texts. It’s always been that way even when we all lived in different states. Now that we are all finally in the same state, it’s even more. I think it’s just up to the parent/child to figure out what each needs. I love how close we are…

I message my parents atleast once a day, and I go round there like 2-3 times a week. My family is quite close, especially since I’ve had my daughter
We live with my parents but his parents are in Nevada and we talk to them a couple times a week and they help us whenever we need it (2 kids we 1 job 
)
Neither of us enjoy living with my parents but our house isn’t ready and we have nowhere else to live until it is
I speak to my mom 3-5 times a day and see her almost daily.

I haven’t spoken to my mother in almost 3 years and my dad I hardly talk at all because no matter what I’m a failure in his eyes.
My family is very split up. We all live in different states. I message my mom everyday, keep in contact with my siblings every week or so, and my dad about once a month🤷♀️ I dont feel the need to be texting/calling all the time. I have snapchat with my sisters so I send them cute things through there. Luckily my boyfriend and I have a similar family background… but I would try to embrace the closeness of his family. It can be nice to have family support. Nothing wrong with the way either of you grew up. It’s just different.
I speak to my mother and grandmother on a daily basis.
We were raised to be close.
My mom lives 6km away and I need her.l, I don’t care how old I am.
I have boy/girl twins and the pregnancy was hard.
My grandfather (who raised me) died 10 days before my babies came (very early) and the absolute grief that came with it has made me lean very hard on my mom.
Prior to having kids I don’t think I went round as much.
Also, with young twins I needed as much help as I could get.
Now that they’re older its now a scoial thing for all of us.

My family is close group chat all day everyday. We go to my moms almost every other day even if it’s just to say hi or to have dinner. I live 30 minutes away and still drive out I have 3 kids and they love going to my parents house. My husband family isn’t close so the siblings text maybe once a month and his mom a phone call once a month. We don’t visit unless it’s a holiday at our home. And he gets irritated and makes comments but I just ignore it because my family treats him like a son and he gets over and sometimes asks to go see my parents when I’m like ughhh again!!! And don’t really want to go lol.
I talk to my mom very often , we don’t live in the same time but. We speak every week if not every other day
My child’s father was raised so different to me.
He has no contact with anyone in his family…
They’ve never met me or our son.
I always found it so messed up!! And was pretty upset and offended that not once have any of them bothered to reach out to talk to us, get to know us… just nothing!
My family is close…
I talk to my mum and sister every day by text or calls… we also see eachother at least once a week.
My dad moved away to look after grandma but once a week we chat on phone.
My cousins, aunties, grand parents ect I see probably once a month.
If anything ever happened to any of us, we would all be there in a heartbeat!
Family will always come first!!
I see my parents every week and we txt everyday we are super close especially since I’ve had my son
Every family is different, it just takes getting used to over time an excepting it is what it is. I wouldn’t consider myself overly close with my family. See them every couple of months sometimes more,odd text an call nothing routine. In fairness mum is helpful with babysitting if needed. Main contact is if something is going on. His family he speaks to multiple times a week just for a chat and usually like to meet up regularly before COVID. I thought it was odd at first, now I find it nice almost envious. Just becomes normal over time xxx
Before our son was born we saw my parents once a week or once every other week, and we saw my in-laws at least monthly. Now both sets share watching our son so we see both sets of parents a few times a week. We still visit as often as we did before.

I live 4 hours away from my parents. Sometimes I talk to my mom daily and other times I talk to her like once every week or so. I talk to my dad on the phone maybe once a month unless my mom puts me speaker. They have a camp site closer to my house so in the summer I see them a lot. But usually only see then 2-3 times in the winter months.
I talked to my mother daily when she was still living. Just like she did with her other 3 children, we were all very close.
But everyone does not have the same relationship with parents everyone else does.
Don’t make your partner feel insecure for still needing their parents or Don’t pressure them and tell them they need to have a relationships with their parents because some parents are not great people and don’t deserve relationships with their children.
The biggest thing in any relationship is communication and compromise. We are all Different, raised different, different personalities, different ways of doing things. Just because we’re different does not make us wrong just diffrent. We don’t have to be the same to be in a relationship we just have to respect Our partners the way they are.
Before my mother passed, for 4+ years my mother and I would FaceTime for hours so I could talk to her and she could talk to her grandbabies. My father used to be 1 time a week for about 30 minutes until we found out he had been cheating on my mother while she went through chemo. Then it was maybe once a month. Then I found out he had been sneaking his GF, the woman he cheated on my mom with, onto the phone to speak with my kids after I told him I didn’t want her talking to my kids. That and a suicide attempt by him has brought our conversations to 0. I have no spoken to him since December of last year, nor has he seen his grandchildren. And he didn’t try and commit suicide because of depression. He said he did it so my mom wouldn’t get a dime out of him during the divorce. I’ve had so much go on in my life since my mom passed in August, I’d give anything just to have one more phone call with her. I’m just glad I was able to be in the hospital with her when she passed. My husband talks to both his mom and his dad maybe once every week or two. I talk to my brother everyday, even if it’s just a “just checking in” call for 5 minutes.
Talk to my mom every day at least once most days we see her as I do a good bit of cooking for her. She did a good job raising me and took care of me growing up and still does My mil lives with us but she is a nanny right now so she s only here with us thurs night throigh mon morning so we talk everyday all day when she is here and I talk/text to her at least once between Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. Sometimes everyday but it depends on the week and how busy we are . my husband and I are childhood friends we were in and out of each others houses all of the time. his father has passed months before our wedding
My dad who is still alive but did not raise me and only saw me on occasion I call mabe once a month but I dont feel a need to insure his happiness or well being as i feel that responsibilities with the grandmas.
My daughter and I FaceTime my parents once a week.
We try to see them when we can- they live an hour away.
We used to visit my husband’s mom once a week or more.
She had a stroke 10 years ago and lived with us until she passed away.
We miss her, she was amazing!!
My husbands dad died when he was 2 years old.
My parents did me wrong…were addicts and chose s life stylenof their kids. I have tried multiple times to reconnect with them but when they start to feel like they are entitled to be in my and my kids life and start making demands like they have any place to do so stuff goes south again. I haven’t talked to my dad in years and my mom calls me a few times a week but I haven’t actually seen her ina while. Bridges have been burned down and I am reluctant to rebuild them again
I FaceTime my mom nearly every day since I live on the opposite side of the world now. If I lived there, I’d probably be at her house almost every day or pretty dang close, but my mom is also my best friend.

My mom is my best friend. We usually talk weekly, but she’s been sick, so I’m checking on her daily. My dad didn’t meet my kids until his death bed. His choice. My husband and I moved in with his father when he was diagnosed with cancer, and cared for him until the end.
Everyone is different. Neither is wrong. But I do have to say that when his parents are gone he’ll be happy he spent those hours talking. Please don’t get in the way of it.
The two people in the relationship need to respect the other and their family, regardless of their opinion. Neither side can control how they were raised, you CAN make your own guidelines together. Compromise, respect, and stick to it!

When I feel like it.
My parents live a few houses down, and ill walk down and grace them with my presence at least a couple times a week lol. My old man however sees/talks to his parents once every few months maybe
No shame in my game I see my parents/siblings almost everyday. My Papa passed away at the beginning of the year so family has become even more of a value you can never replace.

We see my family at least once a week, and his mom watches our daughter 3 days a week while we both work. I go to my grandma’s at least 4 nights a week 
he works mostly nights though and I work 8-5, so my daughter and I have a few hours of free time before it’s time for bed. My family also has a group chat, so we send important updates through it, or even just pictures.
ETA: my mom passed away 8 years ago, so my family became really close after that.
My parents were shitty and I was raised by my grandparents I talk to my grandmother daily on the phone we usually meet up monthly and my grandfather unfortunately passed away 3 years ago and I’d give anything to see him again
I wish I lived closer to my Momma. We talk/text regularly however when health issues arise I am 7 hours away. Makes me sad!!!
