[quote=Anonymous]I tend to let the kids themselves dictate how often we're in touch. It's different for each of them. For my DD, we talk rather frequently. She calls once or twice a week, usually while walking home from somewhere, just to chat. We text back and forth (saying hi, checking in, pictures of pets, etc.) pretty much every day. She's always been more talkative, and we have a close relationship. For my DS, we don't talk that frequently. We text a couple times a week, just checking in, but calls usually don't happen unless there's an important matter to discuss. He's a very independent type, so this is about what I expected when he left for college. If I don't hear from either of them in a while, I will send a quick text to check in. Regardless, I have adjusted my "expectations" of communication based off each of their personalities and communication habits. [/quote]
