How often you call your parents?

Hello,kk.Since I was in high school,I was seldom live with my parents together.Until now I am in university.But every week I call them.Although each words are very similar,I still insist on.Because I want to hear my partents,hope they are very healthy.On the phone,I say little.But in my heart I have many words say to them.They earn money diffculty for me to study, I cannot do anything but only for good grades.

hi karenkarenkk i think i'm lucky,because i joined the group and i can improve my english here. Thank you for the opportunity that you provide to us.I have not studied english for a long time,but i decide to learn it again,i believe i'll do well by the communication and your help. Now,i work in a different city with my parents.so i generally communicate with them by calling,but not usually.

hello karen! how are you/ me, i also don't live with my parents but i just call them once in a week...hehe but that was a hole day talk through texting, anyway its not because we don't have much things to talked about, but because they are also busy and in just one day, we can talked everything & anything and that's enough for us...that way we don't missed each other that much...but when we saw each other...wow! haha we can talk almost the whole day! about just anything...hehe

I called also my parents once if am not on home early. I will not called her always because she is not away from me...We reside in one place that is why not need to called her always...I don't have gap with my parent's even before...Have a nice day!

hello ~ kk , i'm a college students now , and before i'm college i was stay with my parents . i call them once a week , sometime they are complain to me and said i should call them more . hehe~ i think i'm a big guy now ,and i should learn to be independent .so if i have meet with with difficulties i would like to overcome by myself . but i think i indeed should be more concerned about them .

It is sad to say that my mom calls me more often than me. She calls me about once two days. It could be because she think I am too busy to remember to call hom. It is not good tho. Thank you for the topic, Karen. I never realized that before. I'll call my parents more frequently.

This has never happened to me, because I stay with my parents. But while I am in office to get the status of my family, I call at least two times to my home phone. When ever I need to talk with my parent irrespective of my location I do call them and talk to them to update the status. This is really important to me while its urgent to have discussion with them.

I call my parents at least once a day and on many occasions I could call up to 3 times a day. My parents live in Florida so I don't get to see them as offen as I wish. So I call and or skype them. Which is one of the best inventions ever.

I sometimes talk to my parents everyday and sometimes every other day. I dont like talking on the phone but we always find something to talk about. We will talk about my kids or things we have done that day, or tv shows. Sometimes we talk about there health and whats going on at my dads job and how they keep talking about laying people off. I dont live with my parents but we do live close. About 10 minutes apart.

My parents live interstate so I only get the chance to see them about once a year. We speak on the phone only about once or twice a month. We have a good catch up when we do talk and the conversation is usually long by the time I and my kids talk to them both. If we talked more regularly, I do not think we would have much to talk about! I am trying to get my mum to upgrade her internet connection and get Skype. My sister is interstate as well and we regularly call her on Skype and it is great because we can see each other through our webcams! We never call each other over the regular phone, because it is so much better with Skype!

I call my parents only when there is something that needs to be said. My dad and I have always been close from a "business partner" perspective; he helped tons in getting my real estate business up and running back when I started it at 15. To this day if I have problems with tenants or an actual physical property I can call him and get advice. My mother is a different story. She and I have major disagreements that I can't look pass for the most part because they come up in nearly every conversation we have. I only call her as often as is necessary to keep her happy and to keep her from calling me. I find that she never is too interested to hear what I have to say, and will never ask me about me in return for when I ask her about how she is, so it really isn't too fun to call, to say the least! I talk to my dad on nearly a daily basis, but I call my mom about once every two or so weeks unless there is something unclarified about a family get-together or there is an immediate question to be asked. There's a gap between my mom and I but only because of our differences. If it weren't for the rest of my family badgering me about calling her, I wouldn't call as often. I'm the type of person who doesn't care if you are blood related or not...if you are a good person, I definitely want to talk to you/know you, etc, and if not, I don't. My mom doesn't necessarily fall in that "good" category so I avoid calling for the most part.

I ring up my mother more than once in a week. Ultimately we talk more than 3 or 4 times a day. She calls up when she feels like and I call up when i feel like. Other than these times we have fixed call time son wednesday evenings and sunday mornings. My motyher lives 200miles away from me and as she isnt into computers, calls are the only way to keep in touch with her and to know what is going on that side of the country. We too speak a lot every time we call and it can be anything about the new palnt sahe palnted or gossips about relatives hi hi

Hi karen, How sweet of you with your parents, how i wish i could have same time with you talking to my mom. I'm living far from her and our only way of communicating is by calling her and through the internet. I only call her when it's emergency as it is too costly, otherwise I'll send her an SMS to chat with me online via internet. In three weeks time she's coming to visit us here abroad and I'm excited to see her again after almost two years when I last have my vacation. Good Day!

I live alone, and I call my mother every day. I am handicapped and if I don't call her or tell her when I have something scheduled she thinks there is something wrong with me. I talk to her every morning, so we don't really have much to talk about. I am usually tired and I don't want to talk much, not that I have much to say but I am usually glad we don't talk long.

I'm staying with them; so normally when I'm outside, I don't really make it a point to call unless they need me to check on them to buy something outside or not. I can't imagine staying away from my parents; because right now, they are getting older and all that and I keep getting worried if I stay alone, away from them.

I don't live with my parents. I live with my husband, two hours away from our parents as we go to university two hours away from where they live. I don't really talk to my parents very often. I'm not really close to my parents. I'd probably say that I talk to my grandmother and my mother-in-law more often than I do with my parents. I just don't really have a great relationship with either of them.

Well, I've moved out of my parents house about 3 years ago and I rarely call them but this is due to the fact that my mom calls me almost every day. Most of the time she calls to see how am I doing and making small talk and rarely about a real problem/issue/concern/question.

it's not regular to me. sometimes i call my parents everyday, or even several times a day. but sometimes several days or weeks. certainly there is no several months mostly, we talked abt the conditions in the countryside where my parents are living in now. and my job, and my future marriage...

Hello karen, I live far from my parents and from my siblings. But i don't missed them that much coz,we always call each other almost everyday and send text messages everyday. And,i am also thankful for this internet,i am able to see them thru webcam. My mom and i used to chat everyday so,in this manner i don't missed her absence. And,i always tried to visit my siblings 2 times a year during December break and summer vacation.

Hello,Karen. Now I don't live with my parents.I went university to study last year.Then I must go far away from my hometown and my family,to persue my dreams.I miss them very much,even every day.I must talk with them on phone or by internet. Generaly,I will send short messages to them at least once one week.I feel very sorry to my parents for not call them quite often.Only when I need money and I have difficulties in school life,I will call them.It's very bad. So I say to myself,I determine to call my parents and brother much time every week.Though I have a lot to do in school and my parents and brother also have their job and are busy,I will promise to call them much. I go back my home in summer and winter holidays,we will talk much about my school life and their new changes at home.Sometimes,they will ask me whether I have a boyfriend,and they will imagine and describe the appearence of my future lover.It make me shy and laugh.I think they are so funny. I like stay with my family,which take many joys to me.I will value the time we stay together.When I must leave for school,I am sad but strong to smile.I don't want them to see my tears,then they must be very sad as well as me.I just smile to wave my arms after hugging them to say goodbye.
