How often do you call MOM?

I talk to my parents about once a week. My husband may talk to his mom once a month, that that is really stretching it. He may talk to his Dad every 3 months. When I was growing up, my Dad stopped by his parents home every day on the way home from work. My Mom - if she did not visit my grand mother that day - would talk to my grandmother by phone. My Mom and my Aunt talk every day on the phone. I don't think it is odd that you talk to your Mom every day, but if you don't have anything to say...then why call?

I dont think its abnormal you check in with you're mom once a day. I think its nice of you to do that most ppl that move out of their parents don't keep in touch with them at all...I try to call my mom as often as I can but I have a busy life so it's hard to call her all the time. But we do talk tho and we e-mail eachother so its not like I dont keep in touch with her at all......

My mom lives in another state. Its hard for me to call her all the time. because of long distant charges. and we have different schedules. But when we can we call each other. It would be better if I was able to see her more.

I talk to my mom about twice a day because I feel that we need to keep a close bond since she is getting older and her health is starting to fade. I feel that it is very important to keep an unopen bond between us. So that if she ever needs anything she knows that it is me that is only one call away. I do not avoid talking to my mom becasue she was there for me when no one else was, she took care of me when I did not want to be there. So I would never avoid speaking to my mother. I think that your husband she put forth a better effort into speaking with his mother because tomorrow is not promised to him or his mother. It doesn't matter what was done or the history they share she is still his mother and even though it seems like she doesn't she really does. I love my mom for everything she has ever done for me.

I call my mom once in a while but she hardly ever calls me Im about the same 1 time a month. My wife on the other hand talks to her mom all the time so you guys arent the only ones abnormal I dont know I think its normal. I think we expect to hear from our moms if anything important comes up.

I still live at home with my Mam, so it is not a matter of catching up, so I just ring her when it is necessary, such as saying when I will be home, or whether she wants anything while I am out, or whether she can get me something while she is out etc.

My mom lives in another state and about 11 hours from me. Because of her work schedule and the fact that all I have is a cell phone. I call her about twice a week. Usually on Saturday and Sunday which are her days off from work and I have unlimited minutes so we can talk as much as we want without running up mine phone.

I try to check in often with my mom and dad too. I may miss a day or two but it will be because I'm either extremely busy and I'll let her know that beforehand so she can call me if she needs me or I'm sick. My husband is also pretty good about calling his mother several times a week. If he knows she is not feeling well he will call every day until she feels better just to check up on her. She lives alone so somebody needs to be checking on her. I call her several times a week to talk. She seems to enjoy the company! To answer your question, no it's not abnormal at all. I think you are a very caring person!

No, it is not abnormal! I feel sorry for people who can't be close with their families. I can't imagine it! My Mom lives with me, so we don't have to phone. When my Dad was still living, we talked to each other at least once a day. Either he would call, or I would. I felt the need to check up on him and make sure he was ok. And I guess he did, too. We were very close. Once, I couldn't get him on the phone for 2 days. I finally called one of his neighbors and she told me he went on vacation to Georgia. Boy, did he get chewed out when he got back a week later! lol He always told me from then on when he was leaving town.

I don't call my mum as I move to stay near her because she is already quite old and we meet up for breakfast every morning and whenever I want I dropby her house.

My mom passed on 8 years ago. But I used to talk to her everyday. DH will not talk to his at all hardly. He doesn't even care to go vist her. I talk to her more then he does and I vist her more.I just don't understand him.But he never had a close relationship with his mom. He was actually closer to mine.

thanks for asking....i call my mother about twice a week.I try to keep in touch with her frequently to find out about new things in her life,and just to talk to her on a normal daily basis for connection.I respect my mother alot and i love her dearly.But right now she's across the waters in thailand, and i have to wait for her to come home.I miss her deeply right now as i am use to talking to her frequently on the phone,or going to visit her. I cannot wait till she gets back where i can be with her.I've always been this close to my mother,and i am happy to have her as a mother.

I am a student I live in college and my mun ask me every day must chatting with her, if no words to say,just let her know everything is ok,sometime i feel so crazy,and now I will contact her once a week.

I call my mom usually everynight , and it is usually me that calls to check up , only because I have free unlimited long distance and her phone company charges and outrageous amount for a long distant phone calls.

I talk to my mom everyday, sometimes more then once. Mom and I are really close and since I had my son back in 2004 we have been even closer. Not only do I talk to my mom atleast once a day, I usually see her once a day as well :)

Well my mom has passed, but when she was alive, I did talk to her often, if not daily seeral times a week. We were very close. Now my children on the other hand oare each different. My oldest son, calls and visits a couple times a month, my daughter if she is struggling will call daily, if she is doing well I may hear fomr her only a couple times a month and my youngest son, well lets just say I am lucky to hear from him once a month. I just figure when they move out and grow up, They will call when and if they really need me, and they do. I try not to pine for calls from them and keep myself and life busy. So it is not a big issue.
