[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the things that surprises me most about this thread is how few people have frequent contact with their parents. I talk to my mom or dad every day - either I call them or they call me.  I talk to two of my sisters every day or so.  I talk to my best friend every day and, this will blow your mind, sometimes more than once in a day.  Who are all of you people that you don't talk to your friends and family?  I couldn't live that way.  They aren't all long calls but we all check in - a funny story OR hey, how ya doing OR did you read about xyz in the paper OR what's up with the trash trucks today?  Sure we text but we call more.  And before you go blasting that you're introverts, I'm a 20 on the M-B...on the I side.[/quote]

Great but if you went on vacation and wanted to unwind and not be in contact, could you?  Not would you want to but could you?  If the answer is yes, then this is healthy.  If you or someone in your family/friend circle got upset with you for wanting to do that, what does that say about them?

If one of your family went on holiday and said they were having a screen free holiday would you get upset with them and say you want to be contacted or would you wish them well on their vacation and you'll catch up with them when they got back.  Not would you or would your family do this but would you get upset if you were told no.

That's what this thread is about.  Its about someone wanting something and another person wanting something else and wanting things their own way rather than respecting the other person.  This isn't even something ongoing, its simply for two weeks.

Its great that you may never want to do this but if someone else did or needed that would you respect them and their wish or would you demand to be contacted regardless.  [/quote]
