[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are calling too much.  It is unreasonable to expect to talk to your adult son during his vacation with his wife.  Talking once a week to an adult child is more normal—maybe 2-3 times a week.  The frequency you mention is more normal for middle aged kids with elderly parents where the kids want to make sure mom has not fallen down and feels bad she is bored and has no life.  It’s nice you have a close relationship with your son.  Maybe call him during the work day so  you’re not stealing time from his wife?[/quote]
Talking to his mom is not “stealing time” from his wife. It may be annoying, but that may be a husband problem, if the calls are when he is at home.
On the other hand, OP, the fact that you posted about this sounds like you are addicted to the current dynamic.
Personally, I don’t wanna spend my vacation talking on the phone. But I would text my folks every few days to say we are still having fun and we are ok.
I talk to my parents almost everyday, I am middle aged and they are 70’s but not feeble and half the time they are busy about to go out.[/quote]
