<p>I actually can’t even figure out why anyone cares how much someone’s kids call or text, or why this is seen as anything other than different types of communication styles.</p>
<p>I have one who might call a couple of times one day and then not for a day or two, or for a week might call every day when she is on her way places.</p>
<p>I have one who does not even know how to make a phone call, or at least not to us.</p>
<p>But, neither is more or less attached to me or my husband. Each just has a different level of newsiness to the way they like to live.</p>
<p>I have a younger, much younger, sister in law, and she has this amazing facebook, like one of the world’s most savvy daily self-marketing plans. I’ve never seen anything this slick and well-done on the facebook. Does this mean anything? No. She’s just very good at communicating in this way.</p>
<p>Why is this even something we need to “know” about each other.</p>
<p>People used to visit every day. People used to live in small towns their entire lives. Families used to live together forever. Comparing how things are now to how things once were is as silly as comparing these days to the days of calling cards and ‘at homes.’ Social norms change. Either change or get left behind. Rather change.</p>
