My mom texts me every morning and I have a group chat with my mom and dad. We talk on the phone 5-6 times a week.

I have 5 friends who’ve lost their mom or dad or both and realized the time with them is short, we are all early 30s as well ❤️

these responses are…super eye opening. i see my parents MAYBE twice a year and actually have a phone conversation with them MAYBE 10 times a year?

This is really nice. Kudos 👍

My dad was a spy for a living , so sometimes he likes to go a few days without talking so he can prove he knows what’s going on in my life … But typically they reach out first and often

I’ll think about this response for some time to come…dying 😂

I talk to my parents for about an hour once a week unless there’s something pressing to discuss more frequently. I know others who call their parents for like 5-10 mins every day, though (however, their parents are more elderly than mine with more spare time and pressing health issues.)

I do! She’s a bit crazy!

funny

Once a week, with an occasional bonus call if I feel the need. Honestly I run out of things to talk about, which is sad, I wish there was more to talk about because I love my parents. It just gets weird once you run out of things to say and start staring at each other

I speak with my parents twice a day. Most of the time, they text me to ask if I’m not busy and then I call them. We have a 10.5 hour time difference. Also, I’m the only child 👧

Everyday ❤️ since I left home for undergrad… even if it’s for 5 mins…

I try to call once to twice a week for a quick call. I live across the country so I don’t get to see my mom often. Usually twice a year

Mum voice notes my siblings that don't live at home ever single day. Calls are 50/50 really.. not planned or anything... every few days..

Tried to call as much as i could before the pandemic due to a 12 hour time difference. With work from home every single day
