[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! I FaceTime my mom every night after I’ve put my own kids to sleep. And before he became ill I spoke to my dad daily. My husband calls his parents 3-4 times a week! We just love them and know they are in their late 70s/80s and our days are counted. Do some people really only call their parents once a month? That makes me so sad![/quote]

Do people really FT their parents daily? That makes me so sad that they are so enmeshed![/quote]

This is such a weird, and weirdly American sentiment. SAD that they love talking to their parents? I'm sorry, but that says more about you than it does the person you're "sad" for (lbh, you're judgmental, not sad). And what it says about you isn't good.

I don't talk to my parents hardly at all, and they live 8 hours away in another state but I wish I did. There are significant issues (involving abuse and other things) why I don't. I wish I had the relationship with them that was more loving and nurturing such that I wanted to speak to them more. Just putting that out there before you accuse me of talking to them every day, which I don't. [/quote]
