Happy I'm not my sister!
My poor sister. She is way closer to my mom-- they talk every day on the phone, usually, and my sister is the one my mom calls to take care of the house when my parents go on a trip (my sister lives in SoPo and my parents live in the OOB).
My mom is always saying to me that I don't call her enough, I don't tell her what's going on in my life unless I need something (somehow my texts, phone calls, and emails that say I'm just checking in and asking how things are going for her don't count). Blah blah blah. Once, I overheard my mom tell my aunt that I would be the one of her 3 kids to put her in a nursing home first-- even though I was the only one living nearby (my brother has lived in Chicago since he graduated from college and my sister was in Boston or Maine while my parents and I were in CT).
I used to feel bad about that relationship-- but I just spent 7 mins and 37 seconds on the phone with my sister and my mom called her 4 times and texted her 3 times. Seriously. My poor sister is trying to tell me about her struggles with her son's IEP (she has to file a claim with a lawyer) and her daughter's class next year, and my mom just *HAS* to talk to my sister RIGHT THIS SECOND OR ELSE. My mom is currently in San Diego at a conference.
I am SOOOOO glad that my sister is my mom's go-to person for my mom's every day madness. I am sooooooo glad that my dad understands that I don't do the whole talk-on-the-phone-every-day-even-if-I-don't-have-anything-to-say thing... [insert happy Snoopy dance here]
Wow. My poor sister.

Re: Happy I'm not my sister!
This was my thought! I could never put up with that much calling and texting!
I'm my mom's go to person and she does generally call me at least once a day. However, she recently got rid of her landline and got a pre-paid cell phone and she guards those minutes like gold so that's really cut down on our talk time.
I feel for your sis.
