Hey everyone. FTM here with a 2 1/2 mo old DS. Just wondering: how often do your LOs see their grandparents? We've been visiting with my SO's parents about once a week/week and a half, and his mom won't stop commenting on how "if he (DS) saw us more often then maybe he wouldn't cry when I try to hold him," and the like, about 5 times a visit. I pointed this out to my SO on the way home yesterday and he got super defensive and an argument ensued. His parents live about an hour and 15min away. I grew up with only one set of grandparents who were in another state and really couldn't care less about me when I was a baby...so, I don't know what's normal. I just want to feel like my efforts are appreciated. Sorry to babble, but what do you guys do? Anyone have experience with this?

Edit: my parents live 25 minutes away and my mother in law lives 15 minutes away.
Mine live much closer (25 minutes away). MIL sees DS every week pretty well. There have been some weeks she has seen him 3 or 4 times!! Any time we see her she says "He doesn't like me because I never get to see him". It drives me bonkers!!! She comes over during the day when DH isn't here and we go as a family to her place pretty much every weekend.
I think the frequency that you have set up is more than fair. Especially considering they live further away.
