How Often Do You Talk to Your Parents?

[edinatlanta]



Anyone else have their parents on Facebook?

A few years ago my mom was like "you know what would be a nice Christmas present? If you added me on Facebook--I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, I understand you need your space." So I didn't add her. A few months later "as a joke" she added me. So I blocked her.

I talk to my mom usually once a week. My dad is usually close by, so he'll ask my mom to say hi to me, and I'll do likewise.

Passive aggressive much?

I call my mother once a day because she is a worry wart. I talk to my father maybe once every two weeks or so.

I try to call my parents once a week but sometimes go two or three weeks between calls. They call me about as often. However, there are times I call them 5 or 6 times a day. Those conversations are usually about 20 seconds long each looking for cooking or gardening advice.

I have two brothers and two sisters and I am pretty sure they each call my parents everyday.

My wife calls her parents a few times a week that I am aware of (maybe more since she could be calling when I am not home so who knows...).

For those whose parents are still alive, how regularly do you give them a call to say hi (birthdays and holidays notwithstanding)?

Although I'm living apart from my parents, I can say that I call them (and they call me) twice a week I'm 24 and I'm not married yet fyi.

Once a week.

Family breakfast FTW.

Every two days or so - they are in India... Skype every Sat/Sun to have them interact with their 2 yo grandson.

@curzon,
your reply is proper, but wasted on mr. Treehorn as he cited part of speech from the movie Gladiator. The son proceeded to kill the father after those remarks..

LOL. Hook, line and sinker. I'm not one for memorizing lines to movies. Hell, I can't remember the characters' names most often. I think the only line I ever remembered was, "Food fight!"

When I've quoted it... it hasn't served me well.
