[quote=Anonymous]My parents are like this, too. And I also grew up with little guidance and struggle with motivation to this day (see also: being on DCUM instead of working). My mom could go months with no contact; my dad texts me sometimes and calls every couple weeks to lament how sad he is that he doesn't know when he'll see us next (they live across the country). I got tired of the whining and suggested he stop being so anti-technology so he could FaceTime more (he's refused to get an iphone or any smart phone). My siblings and I got him an iPad for his birthday last month because we thought that would be less intimidating since he doesn't have to use it every day for any and all communications. He's slowly getting it. But I have to say I'm still stewing that neither of them even thought to ask how things are going for our kid who just started kindergarten. They're just so disconnected.[/quote]
