+2. Come on OP.  Express your anger, take a break for a bit, but don’t seriously stop calling your parents over this.[/quote]

Or . . . OP's parent can pick up the phone and call to the extent they want to hear from her.  I understand that even senior citizens can make outgoing calls these days.[/quote]

Continue to voice that.  But as people here have said, this isn’t an uncommon viewpoint of older generations, that it’s the younger ones that call them.  It can stem from an (in our view) outdated notion of respect looks like, or it can be from being uncomfortable about potentially disturbing a young family, or it can be from absentmindedness etc.  Discuss it, let them know you’d appreciate a phone call.  Take a break if you need to, space out your phone calls if you find it super annoying.

But cutting off contact for something like this is over the top.[/quote]

Cutting off contact is the advice of choice on DCUM. I really wonder if so many people cut off family members or if they're just saying it here to act out some weird fantasy.[/quote]

Misery loves company. The bad advice comes from people who think this is normal and encourage others to do the same. [/quote]
