Yes, I text my parents a few times a week.

Sometimes I text my grandparents too, but not that frequently.

OP, thanks for adding the last option on your poul ....

"My parents are dead you asswipe"

Actually, my parents are gone but i don't take exception because you provided that last option.

Myu message to you would be that if your parent(s) are still alive then spend AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE with them.

They will be gone soon enough.

I wish I could just pick up the phone and call them ... but I can't they are dead.

Did I get though to anyone?

I talk with my parents as much as possible. Whether it's a serious call, or just checking in, I never get frustrated in the slightest, simply because I know that some day they'll never be on the other end of a ringing phone ever again.

Hope my 5th selection wasn't to crass for those who have lost their parents. It goes without saying that my deepest and most sincere sympathies go out to those who have lost a parent, family member, or even a friend.

No way. My parents didn't even know what texting was until about 2 years ago. Now, watching them attempting to text is just painful.

My mom has to get me to put phone numbers in her phone for her, and my dad would never check his cell phone.
