How often does your mom call you?

[4nana]

My dear Mom is in her 80'ies, lives 1/2hr away ~ I call and try to visit her often. She's not going out as often these days, so DH & I arranged to take dinner down yesterday, incl: VD cake & balloons, for upcoming Valentine's Day. We always enjoy our visits and she was tickled pink we could eat together and relax in the peace and quite of her home.

We usually hear from our 3 DD's daily via text, email, or phone. DS is military w/extremely busy life style, so we don't count on hearing form him near as often. He depends on wifey (our dear DIL) to keep in touch of goings on, which thankfully she's good about.

to all those who've lost a parent, I know that pain as lost my dear Dad 9 yrs ago.

My Mom died last August, very quick and unexpected. We always talked at least once a day. I couldn't even think of not talking to her every day. We were very close and always laughed and talked about all kinds of things. I miss her very much and wish that I could still call her. In fact, once in awhile I still go to the phone.

I lost my mom a year ago, and I still go to grab the phone to call her..its one thing I can't seem to wrap my brain around.Just to know I could call her whenever I wanted... My boys are still young, but I hope they will always want to call me..

My mother calls me sometimes up to 20 times a day. She calls me at home, at work, on my cell. If I don't return her calls, she starts calling people looking for me, and she fusses at my children that I don't appreciate her enough. When I tell her she calls too much, she denies it and tries to make me feel guilty. I try not to let it get to me, but it has put such a strain on our relationship that I can hardly stand her anymore. That makes be feel even more guilty! She's 79 years old, and I keep telling myself to just accept it and not let it get to me. I know she won't be around forever, and I'll miss her calls then. That helps me deal with it for awhile, but it's usually short-lived. It's getting hard to even be nice when we talk!

I talked to my mom every day. I wish I could STILL talk to her every day. She's been gone 17 years and I miss her every day. I used to talk to my MIL evey day too. She is also gone. Two the best women I've ever known. I was blessed to have them in my life as long as I did.

My mother lived with me for the last 15 years of her life, so I saw and spoke all the time. Its the only thing about losing her I keep finding myself thinking I will tell mum when I get home then I remember I can't its her funeral tomorrow so to keep myself busy until then I am spring cleaning the house.

My family is all on the opposite coast, so my mom and I speak every few days. More often if we have a trip soon, we talk once a day as we iron out the details.

My mom doesn't call very often, thank goodness. I've talked to her once Christmas. We've never been close. She acted very, very ugly and violent (punched her youngest sister and shoved her down in the parking lot) towards me and her sisters the last few days of my Mama's life in the nursing home and the funeral--my grandparents raised me. She lives about 30 minutes away but she rarely comes here even when she's in the town to shop,; and if she does come, it's always when we're either not home or we're getting ready to leave, then she gets mad. If she would call first, I could tell her I was leaving, but she refuses to. She's rather 'surprise' me.

My Mama was in a nursing home for the last 8 years of her life. Before that, even when she had Alzheimer's but was still at home, we visited at least once a week and I called a couple times a week. I do talk to my Papa 2-3 times a week and he visits me at work (hospital) occasionally.

We see MIL at least once a week, sometimes twice, and she calls every few days. She lives about 5 minutes away.

Whenever she has a question or wants to talk. I call her daily unless one of us is unavailable for whatever reason. We are close and enjoy speaking to each other regularly. My Mom called her Mom every day too.

 

[DaisyLynn]

I talk to my mom at least once daily. We also usually see each other 3 or 4 days a week for lunch, dinner, shopping, etc. My mom was a great mom while I was growing up, but of course I didn't appreciate it then. She's now become my best friend. We are exactly alike! I fully realize that I'm lucky to have this time with her now.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I haven't spoken to my mom since Christmas. No particular reason, we are just not close like others. We only live about 45 minutes away from each other.

I talk to my dad about the same. I talk to my sister more, but that is just because she's on Facebook and we keep touch there.

Holidays, we are always together. Once in a while, I'll go shopping or to Disneyland with my mom.

Don't get me wrong, I wish we were closer. We just are not.

My mom is 81 and is a snowbird. She calls me every morning at work, around 8AM. Our weekends are hit or miss; we're both kinda busy. I do like that she calls me every day as she lives alone but (thankfully) has great neighbors both here and in Florida. Dh's mom calls him every couple of weeks but he talks to his brother and sisters more often..same reason, to keep an eye on their mom.

Dang! I am glad my mom was/is too into herself, that would get on my nerves if she called me several times a day then try to hunt me down.-boundaries are a good thing.

I get the whole they won't be around forever thing, but having someone lay guilt on me, talking smack about me to my kids, um nope not cool no matter who the person is.

Has she always been that way or has it changed due to when she became older?

 

[FlightlessDuck]

My wife and her mom talk on the phone 4 - 5 times a week.

I talk to my mom about once a week, probably a little less.

 

[Mandychelle79]

Daily, sometimes multiple times per day. Talked to my mom 3 times today and will call her later, per my dad's request, to make sure she is ok. My parents live 3 miles from me and are very involved in my kids lives so we talk a lot to shore up kid related things like who is taking to dance ( if I work) and things like that.

I talk to my mom a few times every day.

[chloelovesdisney]

My mom calls me maybe once a year, but I call her several times a week. She is like that with everyone, she is happy to talk but won't ever call.

 

[bjscheel]

When it wasn't a long distance call, she called almost every day. When she moved to town, it moved more to email, and we only call when it's a time sensitive matter.

Between church and the days my kids go to her house after school, I usually see her 4 times a week as well.
