It depends upon you and your family. I grew up seeing my mom's parents about 1 weekend a month as they lived a state away and my dad's mom (grandpa deceased) about once a year for a week, she lived a 1,000 miles away.
We had an empty nest for 3 months and then the youngest grandbaby came to live with us at the ripe ole age of 6 months. That was 3 years ago. The other 5 grandchildren live about 800 miles away and we get together for a week once a year. My folks come too and we have four generations around the campfire.

Some grandparents want to be involved daily with their grandchildren other are happy with a monthly visit. Others take whatever time we can and are thankful for that.
