I am now in my early 40s but talk to my mom just about every day. We also text frequently. She comes and visits us 2-3x a month for a night or two - 2 hour drive each way - and we see her on a vacation or visit her about once every 2 months.


I was the same with my dad. I miss him so much. He used to remind me to call my mom once in awhile- since I saw my dad more (worked in same building/agency) I’d get all the info from him. My dad was my go to - first call for any good or bad news and whenever I needed advice. Since he died, I have to remind myself to call my mom e wet day or so. I call 2-3 times per week. See her about 1-2 times a month.

You are so lucky to have parents who you want to talk to. Must have been lovely with your dad.

As little as possible. Birthdays, mothers/fathers day.

Mom: Daily through out the day.

I barely talked to my dad in the three years before he died. He let FoxNews rots his brain.

I talk to my parent several times a week. Likewise with my college teens. One kid in military so talk less.

Our adult kids all live in the area. We have a family text going that's active all day every day and we also see each other frequently.

DP. What a bizarre question.


No, it makes total sense. This is mostly an American site, most American adults don't live with their parents. It's totally normal in this context to ask why that poster lives with theirs.


Maybe the majority don't, but it's hardly an unusual setup. The way that was asked, with the snarky ellipses, was not a sincere question. - DP

I talk to my parents maybe once every 2-3 weeks. They live across the country so I see them once or twice a year.

They are in their 80s and their memories are starting to go. Conversations are the same every phone call. They don't really have anything to talk about.
