how often do you call


My mom and I talk a few times a week. She usually calls me because she wants to pay for it. I frequently get the impression that my parents still think I'm getting by on a $20/week allowance. :rolleyes: :teeth:
 
I call my dad once a week, and we email each other a few times per week. If my mom was alive, I'm sure I'd talk to her every day.
 
No mom to call, but I talk to my dad almost daily (as long as he is in town).
 
my mom lives in our second floor apartment......I can hear her and see her everyday......my mother in law lives around the corner and she calls each morning every day at 8 am so we can be sure she got up....she is a diabetic and sometimes has low sugar and can't get up ....so we make sure....my mom is 88 and my mother in law is 86
 
at least twice a month....and that's because she lives overseas but I e-mail my sister often so she reads my e-mails too.
 
Don't have a mom. Lost both my parents at a very young age, but was blessed by the gods to have the good fortune of marrying the most wonderful man whose parents have shown me what it is like to have a mother and father. Yes, I love my in-laws. :)
 
I used to talk to my mother every day, until a few years ago when her Alzheimer's got to the point where doesn't speak or communicate at all anymore. :( :( :( Years ago, when I lived in NJ, my mother spent a few days a week at my house :) We were very close.

Also, around this same time, about 3 years ago, I lost my "second mother", she was my first MIL... she died of lung cancer. She had quit smoking 30 years prior :( :( :( I still can't believe she is dead :(

Now I call my dad at least once a week, usually twice or more. He's taking care of my mother, 24/7, all by himself (he's 80 yrs old, my mother is almost 84). My sister who lives in the same state goes there at least once a week, usually twice, so he can get out and do what he needs to do. I feel bad, being long-distance like this.

I also call my former FIL at least once a month. He's an awesome person, and I keep him updated on DSs.

I am remarried, DH's mother died a few years ago :( His dad lives a few minutes away, we see him and his wife every couple of weeks but I don't call them on the phone ever, there's no reason to. I don't dislike them, but we are not close at all, in any form of the word.
 
at least once a week.

** I wish I could say the same for my brothers :mad:
 
Once a week, usually on the weekends. Although if something important comes up we will call each other during the week. And sometimes, throughout the week just because I feel like talking to her. SO never calls his mother (not b/c he doesn't like her, he just doesn't think about it) and I always get the "why don't you guys ever call" from her. I blame it on SO so she tells me I should dial the phone and give it to him! Sheesh!
 
My Mom passed away 12 years ago so no mom to call. I call my sister about every other day.

DH rarely calls his mom, I call her about once a week.
 
Once or twice per week, or else I get the dreaded...

"We wondered if you were okay... We haven't heard from you in SO long..."
 
Every other week. On the week I don't call her, she calls me. Calling to and from Italy can be quite expensive, plus the 6 hour time difference can be difficult, I miss just being able to call at will.
