[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS talks to me or his step dad everyday. If it’s guy stuff - cars, girls, working out, travel, medical, or financial, he calls his step dad. If it’s school, classes, grades, interviews, siblings, or financial, he calls me. We text most days as well.

DS seeks our opinion on things and seems to generally enjoy our conversations. [b]My parents were AWOL when I was in college and I really struggled.[/b] They had no idea and didn’t seem to care.

DS has a 3.95 GPA, many friends, and participates in activities. It doesn’t seem to be holding him back by maintaining a close relationship with his family.

People forget that phone calls actually used to cost $$$s back when we went to school.  Relative to median wages, they were expensive as well.

My only point is that I bet more of our parents would have called/been more involved if contacting your kid was free...vs. every call might be $5 - $10 a pop.[/quote]

DP. Eh, I don't know about that. The mentality was more hands off. Probably goes back to Dr. Spock.
 We're Gen X, we foraged in the woods on our own at age 5. Also, there science plans and calling cards, and it wasn't that bad for a few minutes. [/quote]

That was supposed to read MCI not science! Autocorrect doesn't remember...[/quote]
