[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult here, my mom nor my husbands parent's never call us. We feel alone. We don't have children ourselves. We do both come from sick alcoholic families is this it? We are good "kids" are always there to HELP. They only call when they need something and never just to say HI or ask how we are doing. WHY? Parents who don't call why?[/quote]

My parents don't call because they know our schedule is always changing and they don't know when it would be best to call. They're right, tbh, so we just make it a point to call them. I guess why this works best is that we know they will almost always pick up whenever we call. If it were a case where they also have a busy schedule and we're always playing phone tag, it wouldn't work out as well.[/quote]

Because we were brought up to have the kids call US when they weren't busy! Wow. Trying to be considerate of your time and it's an all out "hey, let's go no contact" war. Ridiculous. Pick up the phone and call. Doesn't mean we don't love you, don't want to know how you are, don't want to see you and on and on and on. How long does it take? I called my parents, they picked up 99% of the time. Yes, they had a life and sometimes were busy, so what? Call back! Or they can call you back, no big deal. Why is everything a problem these days? I'm convinced a real problem in the face of people sincerely complaining about who calls who, would not even be recongnizable, let alone fixable to any of these people.
