[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! I FaceTime my mom every night after I’ve put my own kids to sleep. And before he became ill I spoke to my dad daily. My husband calls his parents 3-4 times a week! We just love them and know they are in their late 70s/80s and our days are counted. Do some people really only call their parents once a month? That makes me so sad![/quote]

Do people really FT their parents daily? That makes me so sad that they are so enmeshed![/quote]

I truly, truly don’t understand this. We live in the world we live in and you are sad about someone’s positive familial relationship?[/quote]

You are assuming that the relationship is positive. Talking this much may not be healthy at all (YMMV) but may seem like it on the outside. Like a PP I’ve seen where it’s  a transactional/fear of being disinherited situation. I’ve seen people who cannot make a simple decision without having their parents involved (reminds me of a Jake from State Farm commercial where the husband is calling his mom again instead of consulting with his wife). And a couple of these people were 40-50yo. Sometimes it seemed as if they might be co-sleeping with their parents still bc they were so entwined.[/quote]
