A couple of times a year. But we live in different states. Between school, work and other schedules we ended up with visits a couple of times/year. Sometimes we went there, sometimes they came here. Same for each set of grandparents
My in laws just bought a house the next street over so it will go from once a week to probably almost every day. We see my mom once a year and that's more my choice.
I am the grandmother, so I can say we see the kids more than once a week, but then my ds is living with us since the divorce so we have them here every Tuesday, every other weekend and every Sunday. We get the granddaughter even more because mom takes her brother to therapy, so we have her those days. Sometimes we have grandson when mom wants one on one time with granddaughter as well. We live within walking distance - the two houses are 1/4 mile apart.
My in-laws live 10 minutes away so we see them quite frequently. I'd say at least once a week.
My mom is deceased; Dad used to live about 45 minutes away and we would get together on birthdays and holidays. A couple of years ago he moved to another state to live with my sister (he's now 90) and we have only seen him once since then. His age is an excuse now, but I will say that he has grandchildren who are now in their 30s and 40s, and he and my mom were never involved grandparents even when they were younger. They were busy with their own jobs and interests.
My daughter's grandfather has seen her exactly once, when she was 6. He lives out of state and is an odd fellow, so it's okay with us. Her grandmother on that side died before my daughter was born.
When my parents were alive they saw my daughter several times a week because we lived close to them and had a close relationship.
Grandma and Grandpa see my kids every day. From Heaven.
