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

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.

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.
