How many times a week do you talk to your mom?

How many times a week do you talk to your mom? 1? 5? not even one? Just curious.

Re: How many times a week do you talk to your mom?

  • Max 1 time per week. Often, not even that much. 

    Our relationship was very dysfunctional, and while it is a bit better now, I am happier when I don't speak to her all the time. 

    Hope is not a strategy.
  • 1 - 2, plus we go over to their house once a week or so.

    My husband talks to his mom once or twice a year. He talks to his dad the most out of anyone in his family, and that's only maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

  • At least 5 days a week.  I call her on the way to drop the kids off most days.

    Now my Dad is a whole other story.  We maybe talk once a month.

  • Probably four to five, but we generally exchange at least an email every day.
  • We talk just about everyday. There are times when we miss a day here or there but that is not very often. Last week, during our snow days, we talked 5 or 6 times a DAY! Gotta love her!

  • Maybe 3 times a week.  We email each other a lot too.   I talk to my dad once a week on Sundays.

  • It used to be a lot more, now it's about 3x a week. Sometimes more.  Now that my DD can "talk" on the phone she likes to call Grandma :)

    This and lately, it's been more like once every two to three weeks that we talk.

  • Usually once per day. Sometimes we won't talk for a day, and sometimes we talk a couple of times per day. My mom is older and lives by herself. I like to check on her every morning, plus I just enjoy talking with her.

  • At least 3 times a week and I email her at least twice a week.  However, she likes to tell people, "My kids ignore me and I could be dead on my floor for weeks before anyone found me."  Super Angry

  • i talk to her either before or after work most days. so 4-5 times i guess. we also talk some on the weekends...just depends on how much we talked that week.
  • Usually 2-3 times per week, sometimes not even that much.

    We're close, but don't always have time to catch up.  We will sometimes text here & there during the week, too.

  • Most weeks 2 times, sometimes 3. I talk to my dad about once a week. Both of my parents live far from me and I only see them once or twice a year.
  • I actually hardly ever talk on the phone to her. We usually go back and forth with texting several times a day during the week.

  • depends on the week.  Some weeks we while talk 3 or 4 times or times we will go several weeks without speaking at all.  I would say it probably averages out to about once a week.

  • In college, I used to talk to my mom every day for 45 minutes to an hour.  Now that I've graduated and am dating, I probably talk to her 4 times a week and the times have dropped to about 10-15 minutes. 
  • I talk to her about 4 to 5 times a week and usually see her at least once a week.  DH sees his mom everyday at the office...its a family business.  I talk to her about 2 to 3 times a week.

  • I haven't talked to my mom in over a year.

    But before we stopped talking, I talked to her almost daily. Though it was dysfunctional. I see that now. Less contact would have been good for us.

  • Once a week at the most. I talk to my dad probably once every 2 weeks. We aren't very close and I feel like I have nothing to talk to them about...*shrugs*

  • 6-7 times a week. Sometimes short, sometimes long. We work in the same small school district and always have a lot of teacher talk! We're really close.
    I twitter randomly about gardening, sustainable living, local restaurants, cooking and more. Follow me on Twitter at Sarah_STL
  • Usually once a day. Sometimes every other day. I'm an only child and she likes to check in and get updates about her grandaughter since we live a thousand miles away. The convos are quick.

     

     

  • Once a week or so. If I go too long without talking to her and I miss her calls she'll mention it to one of my four sisters and they will text me and tell me to call her.

    I talk to my dad on the phone once a month or so.  My mom also usually puts me on speaker so my dad can listen too... but he usually wanders away because we get to chatting about stuff he doesn't care about.

  • Most weeks 1-2 times; we both work and are understanding that we cant take more. My BFF talks to her mom atleast once a day sometimes more.

  • God, this is depressing. I talk to my mom once a month if I'm lucky, and usually that's because my dad puts her on the phone. I try to talk to my dad once a week or more. My mom doesn't email, but I do email with my dad a few times a week.
  • I talk to my mom pretty much every day.  She calls me her alarm clock because I call her on my way to work, which is when she's getting up to go running before she goes to work.  My grandparents are living with them temporarily for health reasons, so she always keeps me updated on them (both are very sick).  We live several states apart, so I only get to see her maybe once or twice a year.  It's nice to have that quiet time every morning to catch up and swap dinner recipes with her.

  • About once a day most days, but we email every so often too. 
  • I talk to my mom most days, although if we are busy we might go 3-4 days without talking. We live about 30 minutes apart and we don't see each other as much as we'd like, so we chit chat on the phone instead. I talk to my dad (who is married to my mother) about 1x per week. If he answers when I call, we chat a lot more. He just isn't a phone person.

  • Before I moved to Germany, once or twice a week.  Since I have moved here, Every other day or so.

    This is due to Monkey's growing up and doing new, cute/funny/stupid things and my personal boredom.  I have found some great friends, but no one that I can complain to (being a military community and my DH's stupid job, I am stuck with who and what I can confidence in).  With the time difference, my other BFF's are not as available as before.

  • Maybe once a month. I guess we must have boring lives because I can't imagine having anything new to talk to her about weekly, let alone daily. We have a great relationship and get along great, I guess we're just not the type to call just to chat able nothing--we usuly have a reason to call one another before we call.
  • about 0.4 times per week

    We talk about once a month.
