<p>Just curious.(:</p>
<p>for the first few months I probably called… every three weeks? Then I got a lot better about it 
now, I speak to my parents maybe two times or three times a week… it really depends on the person!</p>
<p>i call every other week or so, or when something exciting/depressing happens (A on a math test, D on a history test, etc)</p>
<p>I usually call twice a week and send a few short emails throughout the week. But I definitely know many people that call everyday, and many that call just a couple times a month.</p>
<p>Whoa, every other week? I called my mom just about every single day.</p>
<p>Depends. Typically every other night. However during exam periods or just when I have a lot of stuff going on I tend to not call during that time.</p>
<p>damn all of your parents have never heard of the “no news is good news”. helicopter parents are so bad these days. i mean why does your parent call you every night, christ does she want a recap of your day.</p>
<p>Hcos, maybe they WANT to talk to eachother and it’s not an obligation. It depends on the dynamics. With my son, I might actually be a little concerned if he did call every day. But just because a kid calls every day doesn’t make their parents helicopter parents or the kids overly needy. Now, if the parents “require” a daily check-in, that’s a different story…</p>
<p>I was referring to requiring, i guess my family are the “if nothing important has happened, don’t bother” type</p>
<p>I will require my d to call twice a week. I am still the parent and she is still a child, ok teenager. I am still legally and financially responsible. If calling me twice a week to make me feel better is something my d doesnt feel I deserve, then I some issues, and so will my d.</p>
<p>I am the type of parent that says “bother me, no matter what has not happened”</p>
<p>My daughter never called as much as I wanted to talk with her. My d consider’s facebook chats to be the equivalent of a telephone call, I certainly do not, but if we chatted on facebook she felt a telephone call was not necessary that day or two or three later. Recently my d said that she felt bad when she did not call me everyday, when I asked why she did not, she said she was busy with activities and homework etc. I realize she is very busy can’t always call.</p>
