<p>I am pro Steve Jobs but it is an unfair comparison. In today’s technology driven world (Thank you Mr. jobs) and instant communication, failure to be able to get in touch with a kid for close to a week will raise a red flag if that is the expectation. And I am half way through the Jobs’ biography right now and even though he educated himself uniquely, I never recall any references to his frequency of contact with his parents. Maybe his parents expected no contact or relative little contact and what this whole thread was about was failure to meet communication expectations.</p>
<p>So I guess it begs the question, if you tried to call your child for a week or two and were not successful, would you just sit back and say my kid must me spreading his wings and exploring his world therefore I will just chill and wait for his/her call?</p>
