Okay, kid is grown so it does not factor into discussion for me. I lived away from home since I was 18 (1988). Since then I almost always lived away from home. Both my parents have passed but I still have 2 sisters, their families, cousins where I grew up. Brother moved away too. I don't visit them much at all but we talk monthly if not weekly.
Wife and almost all her family lived in the same area their whole life. I was brought to my attention by my wife that her family doesn't think I like them because I don't visit (Married since 1999). I do like them but we don't have much in common. The entire family about 30 people get together every Mother's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Very PG-13 outings, no drinking but good food.
How often should I be going? We help support my MIL (200 a month) and wife visits her every week. I used to visit a couple times a year other than the holidays but recently I probably been mostly on the holidays. How often should I visiting? Getting the new dog has stopped them from visiting us but not like they visited us much anyway.
