How often do you call your mother?

Yes i am asking this in the Men's Issues.

For those of us who have a mother or had a mother, or a figure of one, do you call her often?

I heard from a man recently to call your mother every other day at least.

I went through some difficulties with my mother last summer. We get along though.

If im honest with myself, i don't talk to her enough.

Though talking every other day seems a bit much...

 

sometimes only a couple of times/week, sometimes daily. depends on what's going on and how recently i've seen her.

 

My relationship with my parents is tense, since both of them are from the school of nag. Minding their own business is as mysterious as nuclear physics or Kardecism to them. Every meal has to be eaten together, nothing can be done separately, etc.

But, lately, I've been calling and seeing my parents quite often. We're all living in the same city for the first time in my life, and I thought it would be a nightmare.

But, it turns out, living in the same city gives me the freedom to see them a half hour here, a half hour there. Whereas, when we lived apart, when we saw each other, we saw each other, and arguments and drama would necessarily follow.

Incidentally, I just made up with an aunt and cousin of mine; but, my sister doesn't talk to me, and my stepfather and I have a very tense thing going, too.

 

I haven't been able to talk to mine for many years. She passed away. Don't ever think you are calling them to much, for one day they won't be there.

 

I live with my mom so we talk everyday even when she goes to her boy friends we still talk on the phone

 

I generally have a long chat with mine about once a week ...she lives in another country so I don't see her very often anymore.

 

I live with my mother, so I talk to her daily and we have very long chats generally.

 

I talk to much mom a few times a year... When she gets out of jail sometimes she calls me. She doesn't have a number really that i can call. When she's calls she wasted drunk and tells me how much she loves me. I haven't lived with her since i was about 11months old. I have a brother, half brother, half sister and 3step brothers. My dad took care of as all on his own. I have lots of respect for my father but my mom sucks. Her family is amazing and i talk to them more than her. I love her but she will never be my mom just my mother.

 

Not as often as I wish I did. Mom passed away 2002 and I still think about her every day. I wish I could pick up the phone and call her. My suggestion, the more you do it, the less regrets you may have when she is gone.

 

My mom calls me everyday. She drove up to our place and gave me fudge yesterday.

 

when i lived away from her, it was a once-a-week ritual, generally planned at the same time every week and we would talk for about an hour.

now that i'm back in my hometown, she calls me on average probably about 2 or 3 times a week. it seems like it would be less now that we can see each other more often, but for whatever reason it isn't.

 

The only time I talk to my mother is when I call my Dad and she answers the phone. I always try to reach him on his cell to avoid this. My life is better without her in it.

 

I don't ever talk to my mom on the phone. She's into texting now lol. We live in the same town and I see her once a week so it would be pointless to have long conversations on the phone.

 

I talk to her from twice a week to three times a month and we see each other around three times a month as well. We don't live far away but aren't really close though. We're just too different, so seeing her or talking to her once every three weeks would be just perfect for me.

 

My mom visits once a week, and we usually talk 1-2 times on the phone as well. I'm a SAHM, so this works for us.

I guess not everyone has that great of a relationship with their mom, and some moms aren't really moms, just a birth parent. I didn't have much of a relationship with my mom until I was in my mid twenties, and we became friends. My teenage years were awful.

Something to take into consideration is a mother's age and health, as well as who she lives with. My grandma lived alone, and when she got really sick and had to go live in a home, she laid in bed for 3 days before my uncle found her. So check up on moms who need it.

 

Hmm...I live 2 hours away so I never see my mom but my average is once every other week, but I call my grandmother once a week because she raised me.

 

when she was alive I saw her almost on a daily basis when I was not working in alaska. When I was there she was the first person I'd call when I got back in town about once a week

 

I see my mom once a year and we speak on the phone every three months or so.

 

Every day...
