HOW OFTEN?

I'm quite curious about this.  How frequently should you... or do you phone  your parents and how often do your kids call you?

One of my friend's son calls her every other day and another elderly friend is lucky if her daughter calls once a month.

    These days the only time I hear from my 21 yr. old and 16 year old Grandchildren is when they want money. My son is getting a divorce and their Mother is teaching them this behavior. She is an angry controlling woman. To those who get to talk,and text with their loved ones I am happy for them. I could see this if they were in need but she just used student loan money to help pay for two dogs at the cost of $5000.00 from Petland. I have offically cut them off. So they have cut me off.

    My sister-in-law has had to deal with an ungrateful daughter and one very ungrateful granddaughter. Her son-in-law has created most of this issue and she has removed them all from her will.

    When my mother was alive she lived in a retirement center and I would call or visit about 3 times a week.

    Both of my parents are deceased.  I speak to each of my sons at least once a week.  My husband phones dad each night.

    I talk on the phone to my mother daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.  My dad takes care of her but she really needs the socialization.  I have told my dad to take her for a ride in the car sometimes just to get out and he does that.  It cheers her up.  My talks with her do too, I think.

    My mom may need me, but I need her too.  I lost my dear husband 2 years and 4 months ago.
