[quote=Anonymous]I call my mom once a week. We are close and have a good relationship but have always spoken on the phone just once a week ever since I left for college. We don’t typically text, email or have any other contact other than our weekly phone conversations. We live 500 miles away from each other and only see each other 4-5 times per year. Our phone calls and visits are very good—we talk about any and everything and feel very close to each other so we really make the most of our time together and have deep, meaningful conversations about all sorts of things. I think our relationship is just fine the way it is but I do wish we got to see each other more often.

I call my dad every week too because he gets his feelings hurt if I call my mom and not him. But talking to him is a chore. He’s not good at phone conversation and will just say nothing unless you ask him specific questions about himself. He’ll listen to me talk but doesn’t seem very interested, won’t ask me any questions or try to carry on the conversation. Our conversations are a lot shorter than those w my mom and our relationship is a lot more distant in person too.[/quote]
