How often do you talk to your family?

I was talking to my cousin today and she said she talks to her mom every day. I was all, "Whaaaaaaaaaaa?" I don't even know what I'd say to my mom on a daily basis. I must have a boring life.

I probably talk to my parents once a week and my brothers every other week.

Re: How often do you talk to your family?

  • I talk to my mom every day and my MIL probably once a week.

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • Talk to my mom everyday, my sister every other-ish, and see my brothers atleast once a month. We all live super close though.
  • I talk to my mom and dad like 3 to 5 times a day.  On the way to work, at lunch or some other time during the day, another time during the day, on my way home from work, and sometimes around dinner.

    =/ 

  • I talk to my mom once every day or two. It depends on if she's getting on my nerves at all. I could go as long as a week without talking to her.

    I talk to my dad when he answers the phone when I call my mom. Heh. He's just not much of a conversationalist. 

    I RARELY talk to my brother. He's exactly like my dad...not a conversationalist. And he doesn't live here anymore, so I never see him, either. We gchat every now and then.

  • Mom - a couple times a week

    ILs - once a week

  • Sometimes I talk to my mother a couple times a day and sometimes she'll call me and say "I haven't talked to you in over week.  Are you mad at me?"

    Usually if I talk to my dad it's because he answered the phone when I was calling for my mom.  That's about it. 

    I talk to my brother about once every other month. 

    When I would take LBIL to school every Monday, I would talk to MIL every few days.  Now, just when I see her and the kids on the weekend when we use her washer and dryer.

  • I used to talk to my Mom and Dad daily. Now it's my grandma every other day.

    ILs are every couple of weeks and usually it's just H talking to them. The time/language difference makes is less frequent

  • Should I be ashamed of myself that I only talk to my parents once a week at the most?
  • Mom- anywhere from everyday to once a week

    Dad- Once a month or so...

    IL's- minimum once a week 

    Sisters- Daily via FB

    Gparents- every other week

  • I rarely talk to anybody in my family on the phone.

    I e-mail my brother almost daily and see him weekly unless one of us is traveling.

    I see my mother and father every other week -- alternating because they are divorced.

  • My parents: 1-3 times a week.

    My brother & his family: 1-3 times a month.

    In a good year, I'll see my parents 6-10 times through the year and I'll see my brother at least once.

    I feel sort of sad now.  :-(

  • I talk to my mom and step dad about every other day. My in laws about once or twice a week.

     I am very close with my husband's siblings so about once a week or so. We also keep up with each other on FB.

    However-  my siblings/step siblings it's kind of embarrassing to tell you... maybe like.. once every 2-3 months? We're not close.  Tongue Tied

  • Well, it's partially the 3-hour time difference, but I really do not have the mental energy to talk to my mom more than once a week. By the time I leave work, I'm grumpy, exhausted and hungry. And on my way to work I'm grumpy and exhausted.

    I'm a real peach.


  • Mom: 2-3x a week because I usually call her while I'm walking or jogging at night. 

    Sister: 2x a week. We're really close and we hang out at least once a week.

    Dad: 2-3x a year. We have a good relationship but lives out of state and we don't have much to talk about.

  • I talk to my mom every day & my stepdad 4-5 days a week (I bought my parents out of their California business & still work with them on a few items). I talked to my little brother probably 1-2x a month, my step-siblings rarely if ever (except for my little sister on Facebook). I talk to my dad maybe 1x a month, depending on whats going on.

  • I talk to my mom 2 or 3 times a week.  I love her and could talk to her everyday but generally get caught up in other things so I don't get around to the daily call.

    Everyone else in my family is sporadic at best. I'm trying to be better about it but it's a definitely a rough transition.  Thank goodness for FB.

  • I talk to my parents a couple of times a week (they have to both be on the phone or they freak out).

    I talk to my oldest sister at least 3X/wk.  My middle sister and I haven't been speaking much.  When we see each other we are fine but we don't call. 

  • My mom I probably talk to 1-2x a week

    I'm closer with my dad so I talk to him more...probably every day or every other day...

    My sisters daily.

    I dont call my ILs

  • I see my mom almost every day.  I take my pup over there while I work so she won't be home alone. Embarrassed  I stay in contact with my younger sisters and sisters in law through IM every day and I probably talk to them a couple of times a week.  I see my dad probably once a week, but we don't really talk on the phone.  I never call my inlaws. 

     I should add my parents and 1 sister live 2 miles away.  My other sister just got married and moved from central OC to northern OC.  So I see her less often.

  • I'm a bad daughter.:/

    my mom: a few times a week.

    my dad: once a week

    sisters:  every few weeks

    ILs: never

    I think I'll be making some phone calls this weekend...

  • i trade e-mails with my mom once or twice a week.  we're not big fans of phone calls.

    i haven't talked to my dad in over a year, and before that, not for ten.

    i keep in contact with my cousins via e-mail and facebook.

    my sibs, i haven't heard from since my brother's wedding in november.

    the rest of my family can suck it.

    on the flip side, i see MIL every day.  FIL, every weekend.  brother wan, probably once a month.

  • I've been seeing my mom Tuesday-Friday she's been watching Bella since I went back to work last Tuesday. But that will change next week when she she has her two out of the four days... she's splitting those with MIL.

    I talk to my mom several times a day or we'll talk when I get home and tells me about her day with Bella. Even before Bella we would talk at least once a day, my mom is one of the funniest people I know and we just laugh on the phone.

    My sister and I email or text each other every other day. We're now getting closer since she turned 21 and I now see her as somewhat grown up :/

    My IL's I see them once a week and talk, email or text at least once or twice a week.

    I haven't seen my dad since my college graduation, but we're FB friends and talk every now and then on there... weird :/
