[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't call our kids. They call us time to time (once or twice a month) to talk about whatever they want to talk about - usually their work, food, weather...etc. We don't talk about anything serious. [/quote] Why don’t you call your kids? You are the parent.[/quote] Boomer/other older generations think that it is a sign of Respect Your Elders for the kids to be the one to call. :roll: I usually call my parents at least once a week, but if I forget and a few extra days go by, they act all wounded bird about it. Recently I told them that the phone works both ways, and I will no longer be accepting guilt trips. If you want to talk to me, pick up the phone. That usually works but when they revert to pouting, I say the phone works both ways and I end the call sooner than I usually would. I’m not putting up with essentially temper tantrums when the solution to the “problem” is literally at their fingertips.[/quote]
