[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to college in the 90s and we used to give one of my roommates a hard time because her mom called her every single day. We thought that was so weird. The rest of us rarely saw or spoke to our parents. But we all still have good relationships with them now as adults.[/quote] We did not have smart phones in the 90's. We were waiting in line in the common area to use our calling cards for our Sun. night calls. Not the same when you can just call, FT, text, etc. Additionally, very few ppl on here are advocating parents calling every day. So stop with that. Lastly, I do not look to my Boomer parents' parenting as some ideal to live up to. [/quote] There is no ideal, so don’t be surprised if your own kids eventually realize that your omnipresence in their young adult lives wasn’t necessarily best for them.[/quote]
