[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parents were born in say ... the 60's or earlier, they come from a time of "respecting your elders" which means the younger generation should do for them.

Two of my kids are in their 20's. [b]We have a family Zoom every Sunday, and aside from that DD only calls when she's upset about something, and DS calls a couple other times in the week (mama's boy).[/b] They tell me what's going on with their work, their friends, what they're cooking, we discuss what we're watching and reading, what's going on with the younger siblings, etc. I'd say it's a fair give and take. They probably tell me a bit more minutia than I tell them, but I'm happy to hear them prattle on about it, and hear how they're figuring out life. [/quote]

I suppose every family is different but that's pretty extensive and frequent interactions. [/quote]

I'm sorry that you think once a week is extensive. We value knowing what's going on with each other and being a part of each other's lives even if not living together physically. My younger kids who are still at home really value the Sunday calls and look forward to them. [/quote]
