[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting to talk once/week - ask your kid what day/time would be convenient and then stick to that. I think often that kids need to know that they have something to rely on - that makes it easier to go about their days without feeling guilty for not calling or, conversely, feeling lonely. Also, don't think that just bc you get no responses to those texts that they aren't important - if they are light and fun rather than intrusive or guilt-provoking, I suspect they brighten your kid's day. Please please please though do NOT expect/require your kid to call or text you each night - I had a friend whose parents required this of her - very unhealthy relationship and caused a lot of resentment of the parents and then later of the boyfriend who made it difficult for her to call her parents.
