<p>Do you call/skype/IM/write a letter every week, every day, every few days? How often do you communicate with your parents?</p>
<p>the less the better. like once a week?</p>
<p>My mom and I text throughout the day. We only call if there is something important going on that is too much for a text, maybe once every two or three weeks. I don’t talk to my dad at all unless my computer breaks.</p>
<p>they skype me every day.</p>
<p>I talk to my mom several times a week on the phone. I don’t talk to my dad unless, like Twisted says, my computer breaks, I need something, or he wants me to do something.</p>
<p>I call my mom about once a week. I’m not really as close with my dad so I usually don’t talk to him all that much when I’m away.</p>
<p>I have to call them literally two times a day, every day. If I don’t call my mom thinks it’s the end of the world and calls me like crazy and leaves ridiculous amounts of voicemail. I would then have to call her back and take my time to delete EVERY voicemail. Nice to be thought of by my parents though.</p>
<p>We have calls at least once a week; I’m going to get Skype and I hope it will be more often – on a daily basis, if I’m lucky!</p>
<p>We text or IM a few times throughout the week and occasionally send an email for a pic or sale or something that can’t fit into an IM/text but doesn’t warrant a call. We’ll have a long chat on the phone about every two weeks. We’re both satisfied with our communication thus far.</p>
<p>However, my grandmother is more offended if I don’t call on a somewhat regular basis.</p>
<p>Well when I was in school 2000 miles away, we talked a few times a week be it by phone or email. Now I’m going to be at school about 10 miles away… it’ll probably be once a week. Especially since I’ll go home (or around home) every other weekend or so, to see my girlfriend mostly. </p>
<p>I figure my family spent 18 years raising me, they’re paying my tuition, and they’re good folks, so why not keep in good touch with them?</p>
<p>Usually I call about twice a week.</p>
<p>It really varies for me. I text my mom if something important or exciting happens (e.g., I found a job or got a great mark on a paper or exam), but we don’t have a time set aside every week to just “chat”. We only call each other if we have something to talk about, which suits both of us just fine, I think.</p>
<p>I call my parents every 1-2 weeks. They send me emails about what they are doing and whether i need to call.</p>
<p>I call my mom once a week, and talk to my dad and brother about once a month.</p>
