How often do you see and talk to your mom??

Looking for advice... My husband is overwhelmed by my mother because he feels we see her and talk to her too much... Thank you in advance for the responses. ))

I talk to my mom at least once a day.  I don't see her often because we live a few hours away.  We live close to DH's family but don't see them all the time either.  I am much closer with my family than DH is with his and because of me he has gotten closer and started spending more time with his family and he has started to enjoy it.

My mom works full time. She tries to come over on Saturday or Sunday morning for a couple hours. She usually does that 3 or so times a month.

I talk to my mother almost every other day, but she is very respectful of my marriage and has boundaries. She also loves my husband so doesn't get involved when we get into any issues

It's been about 8months since I've had any contact with her. Been pretty sporadic for a decade prior. She is incredibly emotionally abusive so it's in my best interest to limit contact.

I talked to my mom almost every day up until the day we lost her. Now I talk to her in my prayers. I also talk to my sister every day, this has become a joke with my husband because she is probably the only one who calls our house phone! Lol I would talk to you husband and understand what is too much and who says it has to be both of you? my mom and i used to go out to dinner just us when my dh was busy and my step father was doing something else. My advice would be to cherish it though, you never know when it will be cut short.

I only talk to my mom every few weeks and only see her every few months. She's very intrusive and tries to make everything about her so I try to keep my distance. She's not happy about this especially since I told her I was pregnant (somehow this was supposed to magically fix the last 15 years of not being close). I talk to my in-laws almost every week but only see then 1-2 times a year. I'd say it all depends on your relationship with your mother. And be very clear with her what is and is not ok.

Once a week maybe. See her once a month if not more. Same with my inlaws. Wish it was more though. They both live in the same town so if we see one we feel obligated to see the other (not that we don't love them equally it's just tiring to make the rounds)

After reading the responses I feel like it may be to much but I talk to my parents usually once a day and see them probably 3 x week. I just had my first LO 2 months ago and I can't imagine not being able to call my mom with those little questions. My husbands parents we probably see 2-3x month but they live in a different state.

My philosophy is once our parents are gone were never gonna wish we saw them less

To clarify, we moved out of town last year. Before that id see my family at least once a week if not more. I work night shift so frankly I don't talk to anyone because I'm sleeping during the day, which sucks.
