Your OH does it? Interesting. Do you find that weird?

I probably see my parents once fortnight-ish. They live about a mile away

another female here, sorry . I don't live close enough to either my my or my in-laws to visit on a daily basis. However, if I lived about a mile away from my mum, I probably would see her just about every day, I'd pop in whenever I passed her house more than likely. Just to say Hi face to face, have a quick coffee etc.

My daughter, recently moved out to live with her boyfriend, however she comes back everyday for tea, and sometimes they both come for the weekend.

I wouldnt have said that she would do this as she was very independant when she lived at home, but I am always pleased to see her

I see a lot of my mum she is retired and I am a sahm, we have a lovely relationship, more like friends than mother and daughter, she is a huge support to me, we have a laugh together and she helps me round the house, I probably see her a few days a week on average but often more.
She has a wonderful relationship with my kids especially my youngest, I don't think there is anything wierd about our relationship, though my sisters would say otherwise.
I hope one if not all of my kids want the same kind of relationship with me.

Much better. Shortly after that we had a chat and she said she thought she needed some help. Which she went and got. Shes been on medication and been having other help since and its been much better. Im just worried now about little things being signs of 'other' issues i think, hence querying her relationship with her mum

Once I married and left home I would see my parents every two or three weeks and maybe phone once a week. It does seem strange to me to need to see a parent every day, I don't mean anything by that it's just my point of view.

Another female intruding..

I see mine 3 times a year....easter, my birthday and xmas.

Though i tend to call her every few weeks.

I see my mum and dad every day, (I'm female) my brother does see them as often, maybe once or twice a month, tho always on birthdays, xmas, mothers day, etc.

If she's suffering with depression, its much better that she's seeing her mum regularly than sitting in the house on her own. Its probably a source of support for her.

I think in a lot of cases it depends how far they live away.My mum lived about twenty miles away so it was once a week and phone calls maybe twice but if she had lived nearer I might have called in every day.We were close and I suppose that is a factor in how often people see their mums also.I don't think going everyday is a problem if you are at work anway.
