This post is so sweet! Never realized how many people still do this. Picturing a lot of happy parents at home relieved to get those messages ☺️
Wow, had no idea this was a thing! 🤷🏼♂️
I talk with my parents once, maybe twice a month or so, with fluctuations. Dad doesn't text. Mom just started and writes 6 page letters in her single text when she does.
It's cool that you all have that connection with your folks! 👍🏼
Hasn't happened yet. Not out of responsibility of course but consideration, makes mom feel involved in my life somehow and it doesn't take much effort
Hopefully never - you have no idea how much it means to them - doesn't make you less mature, gives them peace - an easy way for you to let them know you care
Am 41. Have never stopped. Not going to until I have to 😥
I'm with Accenture
Plus, no day is promised. If I outlive them I'll wish I texted them even more when they were here.
Still do. All the time. Even if they're 10,000 miles away and in different time zones.
Have never done this unless I'm visiting them and they're picking me up.
I also do this when I go on a long road trip, or any sort of trip. They obviously don't ask me to, but it's always good to let them know you're thinking of them even in simple things like this and reminds them how they're still a big part of your life.
Love this thread.
Hasn't stopped. Likely won't.
Haven't stopped either, looks like we're all on the same page!
Wow this made me feel like a shitty daughter. I may start doing this more in the future!
Ya do it every flight, take off and landing. For my dad's birthday, I drove to my parents house instead of flying home as a surprise so had to send fake "boarded" and "landed" texts to keep the surprise up.
Stop? I'm driving two hours to a client site weekly and I have to text her when I arrive and I'm 40+.
If I forget, she'll text me, worried!
Man now I feel bad. I stopped a few months into consulting but A2 hit me in the feels. New plan starting next fly day 😊
So glad to see I'm not the only one!
@op- Does Mom and Dad refer to SM and your Partner?
SM. Not every time anymore (36) ...they're so used to my travel. Usually do for international. Also I often call them in my taxi home on Thursdays 😍 ❤👨👩👧
