[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 715625, member: 4152"] Read qyucjkt,,,apogies... Soooo many positives. It is probably best to concentrate on them. I was one of those young women who called her mom daily. We were super close. She died at age 49. I was completely devastated. AND I got the false impression that it would be something like this with my children as they got older, etc. NOPE. Our daughter who has a lot of mental illness, does call almost daily....BUT it is for favors. "Mom (or Dad) can I ask a favor?" She rarely tells me anything personal, unless in the end it is to ask for a favor. Our son, is calling more frequently now that we moved to the same city. Previously, he would call perhaps once a week. We did Facetime perhaps twice a month. Now, he is calling about every other day to either me or my husband, but they are usually brief calls...usually a question or comment...short and sweet. He might text once or twice a week. I have found as he has gotten older, he is more communicative...he is in his early thirties now. [/QUOTE]
