[quote=Anonymous]It really does depend a lot on the kid and parent style. My husband likes talking on the phone (which I hate), and I like texting. DD (a Jr.) is like me, and we text multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day. Often it's just fun stuff, but she'll also let me know if she's stressed or wants my advice on something. DH is always annoyed that she doesn't call him unless guilted into it, but he never texts her about anything other than logistics. DS is a freshman, and while he constantly texts his friends, he will blow off 50% of the texts I send. He calls me once every week or two on his way to or from class. He and DH talk frequently via phone, but 99% of their conversation is about the sport DS is playing. When DS and I talk, I am always trying to get updates on his social life or classes. He is very quick to text me if he needs something.[/quote]
