usually a few weeks. however if i go that long there is usually a phone call from them asking when i'll be stopping by.

Once a week, at least, for Sunday dinner. The free meal is nice and catching up with parents and siblings is a bonus

lets see.

My father and step-mother live about 15 minutes away. so i see them almost every week. My mother lives in Oregon so i don't get to see her that much. about twice a year. either we fly out there or she comes out this way.

I met them once. Then I knew them, so it wasn't necessary any more.

I visit them every couple of weeks.

Haven't seen my dad for about 1.5 years. Haven't seen my mom for about a month.

I try to "see" them via video conferencing, though. :)

they live 15 minutes away and I go over at least once a week for dinner. I actually go over to see our dog. He rocks.

Considering I am living with them till the end of the month, and I work with my dad, I would say too much.

Every weekend. As someone else mentioned free home cooked meals are always nice. :)
