How involved in LO's life are your parents?

wesleycrusher

We live over 5 hours away from my parents and ILs, so not too involved because of distance but I talk to my mom about DD all the time. My mom has some medical problems so my parents are not able to watch DD by themselves unless my younger sister is the

well, they live very very very far away but we facetime on the iphone every single day.

I'd say they are as much as they can be for people who live so far away.

My parents watch LO daily, so very involved. DH's mother - not so much. The last time she saw him was for his baptism on March 10 and before that Christmas Eve. She doesn't even call and ask how he is. DH has to call her all the time. (MIL and I don

As much as they can be from 15 hours away. Like Dix, we video chat (almost) everyday. They just left this morning.... the were here for a week!

My mother is very involved.  She lives about an hour away but she sees him at least once a week.  She asks to have him overnight about once a month and I purposely schedule things in the town she lives in so she can have time with him.

This is the first grand baby on both sides... I think they would all move in with us if we would let them. Both sets are divorced so we juggle weekends trying to get everyone in. My parents will drop by for short visits. But DH always has to make a meal a

My ILs live quite close. MIL visits once a week usually, but nowhere near comfortable enough to babysit. FIL won't touch LO but he seems to like her. BIL lives with them and just wants to watch me breastfeed. Euw.

ILs are obsessed with DD.  They live about 2 hours away, we usually get together with them for at least one weekend of the month, but I am constantly texting with MIL who is a pediatric RN.  They look at her pictures and say "good night" and

My parents and ILs live far away 2 to 3 day drive. Both are retired and come visit 3 to 4 times a year. Babysit help out just visit. We FaceTime or Skype once a week. We go to see each every other year.

MIL comes over after her college class every Wednesday and spends a few hours.  We don't see FIL as often, because he's retired and stuck in his ways and he likes his recliner and to hole up in his living room and yell at the news on TV. LOL

My parents live 350 km's away and come visit 2-3 times a month... they love him to pieces.  DH's mom lives 80 km's away and I see her almost every Thursday because I go to a "Mom group"  in her town.

My mom is pretty involved, she helped a lot when he was a NB right after DH went back to work.  She doesn't really watch him much now, but we'll go visit her/have lunch once a week or so.  My dad just travels a ton, but we see him once a mont

Both sets of parents live around 5 hours away, so they aren't available.  We communicate all the time.  When we visited the in-laws they gave us a nice break so we could catch up on sleep.  My mil doesn't work so she has volunteered to come

We live about 10 minutes from my parents, we see them at least once a week at church.  Plus my mom watches LO one day a week.  We often hang out with them other than these times.  We spend a LOT of time with my family and I love it. DH actu

We are very very fortunate to have great parents, they are very involved grandparents. They each have O one day a week and we see the inlaws another day of the week. And they always offer to watch her whenever I have errands or something to do. They love

My mom and step dad are very involved. I am an only child and I am very close to my mom. MH works a lot and they live close.

We usually see my parents 1-3 times a week. They live about 20mins away.
