How often do you call your parents (or recieve a call)

[j00fek]

daily to 3-4 times /week

I usually talk to my mom on the phone once a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. Usually I call her. She's busy.

The last time my dad called to talk to me was a few years ago. He called twice in one week and I was amazed (2 times in ONE week!). I think it was because I went to Europe for the summer the following week.

I talk to both of them more when I go home to visit once a year or so.

It would probably drive me crazy if either of them called every day... or every week for that matter.

I'm slowly whittling away at the frequency. It used to be once a week, but my parents have slowly adjusted to once every two weeks. The eventual goal is once every couple of months with emails back and forth during that time. I hate talking on the phone...

 

[f1sh3r]

my mom usually calls to talk to my wife. i prolly talk to her about once a week. havent talked to my dad in almost a year i guess neither of us are the motivated type.

 

[alien42]

i talk to both parents 2 to 3 times a week. getting in touch is so important to my mom that she pays my cell phone bill

 

[Supermercado]

Probably at the longest, every two weeks or so. Sometimes more, like this week for instance. I think we've talked three or four times this week. I was on the phone with my dad for about 2 hours last night. Email every couple days, too, especially with my mom.

My father calls me every day. If I don't pick up, he calls my wife. If she doesn't answer, panic ensues.

I have a friend whose Dad is like that. My friend will get a call on his cell phone, look at the number and then not answer it. It's funny because his brother does the same thing. PWNED by his own sons. :laugh:

I use to call my mom every day when I first moved to Wisconsin (originally from Florida) but now she's lucky if I call her once a week. She tries to make me feel bad for moving so far away (I'm 27 years old for pete sake). I haven't talked to my dad in almost 10 years.

Is there ever going to be a Wisconsin meet or what?

I talk to my mom at least once a day. I talk to my dad a few times per week and see them both at least once a week... or i try to.

And quite often to your father-in-law, as we learned above..

I phone with 'em once a week and see them in person quarterly...the see-part will get tougher soon, as I will move from 200 miles distance to 10,000 miles ...well video-con ftw I guess...

Lola does that to her grandmother and great aunts. My Dad calls just to confirm I'm alive, I think. Our conversations are rarely longer than 30 seconds.

I'd say pretty close to daily. I have a very strong relationship with both my parents.

 

[yllus]

Once a week. Once every two weeks would feel more comfortable to me.

 

[EngenZerO]

call my mom after work as a drive home...

call, maybe once a week.. e-mail, txt message to say hi, lots.

 

[Platypus]

I talk to my father nearly daily because we're both guitar nuts and have to check up on each other's latest ridiculous purchases or new tones we're working on, etc.

I talk to my mother maybe once every two weeks or so.. typically I get the ridiculous guilt trip that starts similar to the OP: "Just... um.. making sure you're still ALIVE.. haven't heard from you in a few days.." I haven't lived with them for nearly 6 years now so I don't really quite get it but it makes me feel crappy regardless. I typically will call my father then ask to talk to her so she doesn't feel left out lol.

 

[oogabooga]

almost daily, probably closer to every other day (or 4 times a week i guess?). they only live an hour a way now but they used to live further... I used to call them daily in college the first couple years just to let them know i'm still alive and so they won't have the need to call me at inconvenient times...

 

[BurnItDwn]

I usually call my mom once every week or two. If I don't then I get guilt tripped (though I have told her on multiple occasions that she can call my number if she needs to talk to me)
I talk to my father once every couple of months. Things between my father and I were really bad from 1990 to about 2000, but since then, things have been getting much better.

 

[Sinsear]

Usually one time per week.

 

[jcuadrado]

I talk to my moms everyday....that's just the way it is....and will always be...it doesn't bother me a bit...she's my mom...and we're tight like that.

and I hope my daughter does the same when she's grown up...

 

[slurmsmackenzie]

i'm the only never one?

actually, my mom called once, but i think it was a coincidence since she started the conversation with "do you want to consolidate your student loans?".

ah well

 

[MrPickins]

I talk to my parents 3-4 times a year since they moved out of TX, but I try to see my grandparents (here in town) weekly.

 

[bella ragazza]

Too bad my phone is broken.

 

[chin311]

mom prolly 3-4 times a week

dad probably the same, sometimes more.

 

[geckojohn]

talk with my dad a few times a week... talk with my mom about twice a month.
