How often do you visit your family? email this discussion to a friend?

I hav eoften heard it said that the holidays are for family and now that the holidays are coming up I guess family would be on our minds right?.I must admit that this discussion has been inspired in part by the fact that this discussion is being writing from the living room of my mother .

Now my mother lives in a neighbouring district and I havent visited her in a couple of months (yes I am ashamed of that fact ) even though we talk regularly and so now that I am on my vacation I thought I would go and spend a few days with her.

So now is the moment of truth, how often do you see your family members?.Do you make special effort to see them on a scheduled basis like every month or do you only see them on holdidays or do you only see them when you have family gatherings and similar family occasions?.

Shame on u, Ronnyb for not having seen your mom in so long. Moms love to see their kids. I don't have any family left to visit but my sons & their family.

Yes Antique,thats what I am trying to make up for but I was busy with work and I have made a resolution to see her atleast every other month.Sorry to hear that you have no family yet but I ma sure your grandson makes up for that lack of family.Have a great day


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 13 out of 7,200 in family  2 months ago

Good for u. As i said moms loves to see their children. My oldest son does not come see me anymore & has no contact w/me at all & it is a very hurtful thing, believe me.U have a great day.

I have three children that live with me but other than that, my family is all out west. I hardly ever seen them as it is very far for us. It is too much for me to go there to visit with three children. And it is hard for them to get away from work long enough for a visit here. Usually every few years or so my father or sister makes a visit up my way, but it has been a while now since I went down to see them.

I stay with my mother. I live in a joint family, and my mother has been always staying with me. My daughter is married, and stays in the same town as I live. She tries to come over and see me at least once in fifteen days, since she has a small baby, it is not possible for her to make the trip regularly. So I try to visit her atleast once in a fortnight or so. In this way all are happy.

I do not get to visit with my family very much. My husband and I work seven days a week so it just does not leave much time for anything. We will get together with my family for the holidays though.

before I got married I usually visit my family every weekend. But now that I am already married and already have a child I could not travel much anymore since my family's place is still 3 hours drive away from us. It is really not good for a baby to travel that long since they are easily stress. So in that, it is the other way now. My family is the one who visits us every weekend.

On every wkly holiday i visit my parents. As they are staying quite close to my location, so it is easy. It is better to visit them. For them we are in this world today.
Thank you.

Well lets see. I see my mom, dad, and brother almost everyday. They live a few blocks away. As far as the rest of the family they are all in diffrent states and I dont get to see them very often. I talk to them once a month or so online or on the phone. I wish I could see them more but I cant.

First off let me say that if anyone still lives with their parents or relatives your answer doesn't count (everyday). When I was in college I would see my parents almost every weekend. When I graduated and got a job almost every month. As I moved on in life almost every holiday (birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.) Now I'm lucky if I see them twice a year. I think the reason is that as we get older we are handed more responsibilities, which take up our time and energy. There just doesn't seem to be enough impulse anymore to visiting family. Sad isn't it? Maybe that will be my new years resolution, to visit my family on all the major holidays.
