It's a fair question, and I think we all need to strike that balance.
Spend 100% of time with family, and you cease to be your own person, your identity linked with theirs. Spend no time with your family, and you're filled with regret when it's too late.
Right now my parents live across the country, and given realities of day to day life (economics, vacation days, etc) it's tough to make it work for in person.
But we talk every few days to bridge divide. They still feel far away though.
So all I can say is find a way to see your family a little more than you do now. Keep repeating until you find your balance.
