We usually go to their house or other families (who ever is hosting) since we are the only ones in the city and they all live within 20 mins of each other. We offered to host Father's Day but my Dad wants to host it so he doesn't have to drive. Boo! yoursilverlining on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209817 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:35:14 +0000 yoursilverlining 2209817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We see MIL nearly every Wednesday for dinner out at the same little Italian place. We usually see my parents and/or MIL every weekend as well. We generally host, but it also rotates.

We get together twice a month. Typically we do something together (an outing) versus going over to someone's home. youboots on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209790 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:26:19 +0000 youboots 2209790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My Mom I see 2-3x a week, she comes here a lot- but the babe is 3 1/2 months before it was 1x a week. She and my dad live 20 min away. I see him 1-2/mo. My inlaws just bought our old rental 20 min away so they have been busy working on it, we have not seen them much. The usual is 2x/mo. My BIL, SIL & nephew live 40 min away we see them a few times a year. Activities/hosts vary greatly. My folks have a pool so we spend more time there in the summer. gentlelunette on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209786 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:25:16 +0000 gentlelunette 2209786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I drive to my parents house (45 minutes, no traffic) once a week to visit. I drive to my ILs house (35 min, no traffic) every 2-3 weeks. Where we live, that's not a huge commute, so I consider them "local". ineebee on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209777 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:22:55 +0000 ineebee 2209777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only local family is my brother, and he lives about 30-40 minutes away who's a surgeon with a busy work schedule. We see him every 3 weeks or so, and he usually comes over (LO is 3 months).

Often very informally. Sometimes we pop by the grandmas for a quick visit, sometimes we meet the aunts at the pool, sometimes we have everyone over for dinner. mrs.shinerbock on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209730 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:01:51 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2209730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We see my older sister and her LOs 2-3 times a month and it's pretty evenly distributed between her house, my house and somewhere else. We see my little sister about once per month, usually at my house, my older sister's house or we go out. lilteacherbee on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209717 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:57:50 +0000 lilteacherbee 2209717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents live 20 min away and we see them almost everyday because my mom watches LO while we're at work.

She's never met my 2 yo LO. I guess I should be hosting. My brother and his family are 45 minutes away and we try to see them at least monthly but daycare colds get in the way frequently. catlady on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209685 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:41:49 +0000 catlady 2209685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My family lives 20-30 minutes away (depending on traffic) and we see them 1-2 times per month.

They used to come to ours a lot but now we go there more as they have a huge home and DS loves to run around in it! lawbee11 on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209674 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:38:30 +0000 lawbee11 2209674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once a week.

My parents live 40 min away but that's not that far for this area ( it's very spread out) and my brother and his family live a few miles away. blackbird on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209659 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:34:42 +0000 blackbird 2209659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The hosts rotate. We actually never have hosted-we don't have the seating and such for it lovehoneybee on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209657 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:33:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 2209657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We see my ILs 1-2 times a month (40 minutes away).

We usually see them at their house or our house, regardless MIL always cooks dinner, because that's her thing. Sometimes we'll eat dinner out. We see my parents daily during the week since my mom watches DS. We probably do an actual "dinner out" once a month or once every couple of months! We see my extended family who are all nearby probably a handful of times of year for holidays/special occasions. regberadaisy on "How often do you see local family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-see-local-family#post-2209450 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:30:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2209450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Like live less than 30 minutes away local? Do you host or do they or do you typically meet outside?
