<p>I am just wondering, on average, how many times do you talk to your parents per day? Do they phone you everyday?</p>
<p>My mom texts me almost every day about something while I’m here at college. I only actually get a call or call home once or twice a week probably, on average- probably once or twice to both my mom and dad. Instead of texting, my dad sometimes emails me, since he doesn’t text.</p>
<p>Well since I’m abroad texting/phoning would be really expensive.</p>
<p>We arrange by email to skype… once a week or less?</p>
<p>We have several kids who live elsewhere .Eldest is infrequent caller . (boy) Son #2 calls us 1x week . Son#3 is more frequent . D,19 calls every other day . We pay a flat rate for Sweden and she has endless DAILY calls to boyfriend .They also Skype .When son lived in Bei Jing , we Skyped 1x a week .See what feels right for you .</p>
<p>Probably once maybe twice a semester.</p>
<p>I see them about once a month, no real reason not to since I don’t go to school that far (plus I gotta get money from my dad lol).</p>
<p>I go to school a long way from home. We Skype once per week and text/email in between if anything comes up.</p>
<p>Maybe once a week or so, if that.</p>
<p>I’m in the “away from parents” group, and I only talk to my parents a few times a month, usually on facebook.</p>

<p>Hah no leash there. </p>
<p>I don’t think I could avoid talking to my parents for more than 2 weeks. It’s just nice.</p>
<p>That’s really nice that you say it is nice to talk to your parents. DD texts me every day or two, and we talk a couple of times a week, usually while she is walking to class. Most of the time it is about some small detail (do you know…) but sometimes I think she just needs a dose of home. I try to make every conversation “nice” - it is really fun but not always easy to be on the opposite coast from the people who know you best. I try to load her up on comments about how proud we are and minimize negativity.</p>
