[quote=Anonymous]Some parents (including mine in the past until we had some serious discussions) think they it's the children's obligation to call them and check on them and share their lives and not the other way around. Mom and I went around and around about this and finally realized that her expectation was that I call to see how they are and to tell them of what was happening in my life. Not the other way around. It was the same for her parents. Now she thanks me every time I call. Like explicitly, thank you for making the time to call. And you know it makes me want to call her more. She also calls herself but it's always more awkward in the beginning for her. [/quote]
