How often do you see your parents?

I live with my mum at the moment so every day.

When I was at uni used to have a phone call every few weeks to a month. When dad was alive used to see him once a month before uni and whilst at uni once every couple of months.

All depends whats going on really, if we're all busy there's less chatting but if we have a bit more time then there is a bit more calling.
 
I live about 9,000 miles away from my parents.

Up until Jan 2002 I saw them every day.

Since then I have seen my mother 3 times (once in the UK, twice in SA) and my dad twice (SA),
 
See my dad once a month, despite being in his late 70's now, he still shows no inclination to slow down & can only fit me into his busy schedule that often, & to be fair, he is on his third marriage & family. would be nice to see more of him tho. :)
 
Not seen or spoken to my parents in about 12yrs. Actually that's not quite true, my sister bought my mum up to visit for a couple of hours a few months back.

Nothing really bad, we're just not particularly close. They're not really the "family" sort, despite have 5 amazing grandkids, 3 of which my dad has never met (and mum hadn't until that fleeting visit).

Not helped that they moved to the middle east just after their first grandchild was born, and now (I think) they live in Bulgaria.

Meh... 5 awesome kids, a (mostly) awesome wife, and good friends.... parents are overrated :)
 
I haven't seen or spoken to my dad in almost 8 years. He hasn't seen either of my children.
I speak to my mum by text weekly, or we see each other now and then as she is about a mile away now.
 
I live about a 100 miles from my Mum and Dad. They live about 200 miles from each other...

I see them both about once every 2/3 months and speak to them both about once a fortnight.
 
Haven't seen or spoken to my parents since Novemeber 2011. Used to live with them up until then. I'm possibly one of the few people that have no intention of contacting their parents.
 
Living on a small island with my parents living close by means that we see each other fairly regularly. In fact, as they have got older (74 and 68) I have consciously made an effort to see them more.

My wife's parents, however, and across the water in the UK, hundreds (feels like thousands) of miles up t' north. She hasn't seen them for about 3 years which is not good at all.
 
Several times a week along with several phone calls. They help look after the kids quite a bit. Couldn't imagine it any other way to be honest.
 
Generally every few months as I live in Aberdeen and my parents in Berkshire so the 500+ mile trip makes it difficult/expensive.
 
try to see them once or twice a month, and my Nan who lives round the corner from them but they are only 30 miles away in buxton.
