Is that something everyone does? I don’t like speaking to him that often.
Edit: I thought it might be important that I am 29 and I do not live with him

Some do, others don’t
Once a week for my mom who lives closer, maybe twice a month for my dad since he’s about 4 hours away
If you don’t, I’d highly recommend it. One day you wake up and they’re gone. You’ll miss the talks.
Nooo maybe text here and there and calls once a week. Visits twice a month. It’s all circumstantial tho! Depends if you a close. If they fill up your cup. Some family members are draining. If you don’t like to talk to them that often, that’s your prerogative
I talked with my mother every few days, hardly ever talked to my father.
I Guess it just depends on how close you are to them it is your choice.
you’re gonna get an extreme variety of answers on this. everyone has different relations with their parents. i’m 23 and i personally speak to them every other day, if not everyday.
I texted my mom every day when she was alive. My dad… not as often but I’d say that when we DO talk on the phone or see each other it’s really good quality time. He’s got kids at home still with my stepmom and I have a kid so things get busy. I have sisters I’m really really close with and we text all day long every day. I think it really depends on the relationship and personality type of everyone involved!
I didn’t talk to my mom from 8 to 19 then even after I gave her an opp to be a part of my life she never cared. If you have a parent who loves you and isn’t a POS talk to them even if it seems redundant or boring.
I’m in my late 20s and I do, either I call of their call
Yesss .. even if its just random what I had for dinner and the weather
It depends.
My husband talks to his mom almost every day. To his dad roughly once a week. His dad is the silent type person, very loving, just does not talk much.
I used to talk to my family once or twice a week, back when we still talked. Now, we don’t talk at all.
If you don’t want to talk to them every day, you don’t have to.
I’m 31 and don’t talk to my mom everyday, but I also have three younger sisters. She’s become a shut-in and we all come over to visit every Tuesday because if we don’t it’s “my kids hate me,” “it’s fine, just abandon me then,” etc.
I’m like..for someone who constantly used to complain about us as teenagers with our cellphones and how “y’all wouldn’t make it in my day, we didn’t have phones,” she seems to be the one who can’t survive without constant attention.
Once or twice month. Sometimes per weeks
Every other day but txt nearly every day.
I do but my boyfriend is more like once a month. Just depends on the relationship!
Absolutely not. I speak to my parents every couple months at best. But growing up they were emotional brick walls so none of us actually care how much we talk. (Yes I’m working on myself) 😂
My mom texts me photos of her dog every single day. I talk to her once every week or two for a good couple hours.
Only when I dust their urns.
It depends. My son and daughter are about your age. Like many young adults these days, they don’t like talking on the phone, but we text almost every day. It’s goid to keep informed of one another’s lives once you don’t live together. It helps maintain a strong bond to know what your loved one is thinking and experiencing when you’re not around. My kids and I have always been really close, though, and treasure our relationship. On the other hand, I have never felt close to my mother, who is still alive and active, but has a challenging personality. I only talk to her a couple of times a week, and it’s usually just a quick check in to make sure she’s okay and has everything she needs.
I talk to my dad 2-3 times a month. I’m from a family that isn’t very close, so any more than that would be weird to me. What goes on in your life that you need daily updates??
I’m an only child of parents who were 43 and 45 when I was born. I got married and moved out of state halfway through college. Had a honeymoon baby. Talk to my parents almost every day, except for one time when, but my counselors recommendation, I went radio silent for six months.
When my mother-in-law lived 800 miles from her beloved daughter (my husband’s only sibling) they spoke on every Sunday. This was back in the 80s when “long-distance phone calls” were costly.
We, and our adult daughter, are lucky if we can get our son/her brother or his wife to answer the phone. Now that they have kids, they do tend to call on our birthdays, and on Christmas. Very rarely in between do they call.
They live four hours away, but Near my daughter-in-law’s parents, well her mom, her dad. Her parents divorced about 10 years ago, and her dad died about a year and a half ago, but he lived very close by and was a frequent visitor to their home.
They made a rare visit over here a few weeks ago. Our youngest grandchild, eight, come to me, and really enjoyed doing little stuff with me. He has called me twice since then. He hast to use his daddy’s phone. Obviously, my son allows it. One day, he called me from the backyard while his dad/my son was on the back deck putting something together or struggling with some kind of project. The kid took me on a grand tour of his new play for, including taking me down both of the slides, the regular one and the tunnel one, several times on FaceTime! “We” also walked across the swing bridge together.
Our daughter-in-law is a cold fish, and was from the first day we met her when they first started dating 6 1/2 years before they got married. Even when son calls on our birthdays, and she can be seen in the background, she doesn’t bother to look up . Even when I shout out to her when one of the kids has wandered over toward her, “oh! Cooper! There’s your mommy! Hi Mommy!
She might look up and sort of grunt or say a very quick and quiet “high”. Total lack of enthusiasm. Her mother is the same. Her father was quite the opposite
Not really weekly to monthly.
Mid 20s. Haven’t spoken to my father in 3+ years. With my mother, maybe once a month if our schedules work out. If not, maybe once every 2-3 months.
Mom: once a week
Dad: 5-6 time a year*
*if I call him
I call my mom everyday! She’s fun!
I spoke every day. But I’m 🇵🇷 so it could be a culture thing
I’m 38; my parents are 70 and are divorced. I have a scheduled call with my dad once a week. My mother insists on calling once a week, but I’d rather it be every 2 weeks because with her it feels like a chore. They’re both very different people and my mom’s terrible on the phone while my dad’s fine. And those are the only 2 people left I actually use the “phone” part of my phone for.
No they contact whenever they want something from me such as to borrow money. This can range from months to years.
I talk to my mom everyday, multiple times a day.
I haven’t spoken to my father in 4 years.
I didn’t but as they get older I’m trying to get better about more frequent calls. They won’t be around forever
