Do You Talk to Your Mom Every Day?

I wish I could. My mom passed when I was pregnant with my 2nd 15 years ago. She raised six of us so I still have so many questions for her. I really miss her.

I did! Every day! sometimes a couple of times a day. I also talk to my daughter several times a week and she is the one calling me! I can't talk to mom anymore. She has dementia and doesn't know me. What I would give to have a conversation with her!!!!

I talk to my only sister everyday...usually more than once :)

I talk to my Mom every week or two...but its a lot!

~Funny thing: My sister, Mother and I are all very close...my mother always jokes because one of us will call her and she stays by the phone because within minutes of hanging up with one of us, the other one calls:)

I love my sister and mom very much!

my mom passed away.. but yes i talked to her sometimes 2 or 3 times a day... now i call my dad everyday.. to just check in.. tell him i love him.. andfind out whats up... ....

Before my mom died, I used to call her every night after dinner, even if just for a quick hello to make sure she was ok. Even though she's been gone a year and a half, there are still some nights I go to pick up the phone without realizing what I'm doing :(

My own mom (and dad, and my in-laws) are all gone now, but my older, married daughter usually at least texts me several times a day, and we actually speak on the phone approx 3X a week. My younger daughter is 18, and proving her adulthood, and we talk about once a week.

My Mom is 94 and lives with me. Mentally she doing fairly well but physically she's falling apart. Can't do anything for herself like make meals or clean. She took care of me for all those years so now it's my turn to take care of her.

Yes, I talk or text with my mom at least once a day...usually more. She is literally one of my very best friends. She gets under my skin like no one else, but I love her dearly and I don't know what I would do w/o her.

When my grandparents were alive and well, I spoke with them probably about twice a week....I really miss them.

I lost my Mom to a drunk driver 14 years ago. I think about her just about every day still. I think about how she would advise me to parent my 8 year-old daughter who is named after her, and I'm grateful for what a wonderful mother she was. I wish I had talked with her more often. Back then, long distance calls cost money and weren't done very often. Now with email, Skype, cell plans, and texting, the opportunities to communicate are so great!

Pretty much, I even see her almost every day, I live a mile and half away. Plus my kids, older two, go to their house everyday...
I LOVE MY MOMMY!!!!

If I can't get my mom on the phone, I send her a quick email. I try to talk to her every day. I'm always the one who initiates the calls... if I don't call her for a few days, when I finally do, she always asks what kind of trouble I've been in when I was M.I.A, hahaha! I also try to call my dad and brothers at least once a week, just to stay connected. It's hard since they don't call me, I forget to call them, but I do TRY to stay connected!

I talk to and see her everyday. They live downstairs in our InLaw apartment :) She drives me crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My mom is awesome and I talk to her as often as possible! My grandmothers have both passed on, but if they were here I would sure take the opportunity to talk to them more. I feel so sad for people who don't have good relationships with their parents/ I know not every parent is like mine. I just consider myself blessed to have parents who can look past my mistakes and celebrate my successes with an open loving heart.

My mom lives on Mexico so we only communicate by Sky. She is also a working mom (I have a 14 year old sister) so we don't have much time. We normally only talk about once a week but we end up talking (and see each other by Sky) for 4 hours!!!
Of course there are times I keep calling her many times at day when I need her advice or when I know she is sad.

I used to talk to my mom every 3 days (she lived overseas and she passed away last Dec) so, I think that what you are doing is GREAT.....Time flies and now there are so many ways to keep in touch with our loved ones especially our family (phone, e-mail, cell, skype..etc)
Again, what you do is WONDERFUL because life does not wait for us to "have time" or "being a phone person" to connect and communicate with our parents.
Have a wonderful day!

I talk to my Mom every day as well! I talk to my MIL almost everyday. Our conversations last about 10-15 minutes.

I talk to my dad and my mom about 2-4 times a week. However some days we might call each 2-3 times in one day. I always call my in laws once a week and my grandmother once a week. My grandmom is 91 and is in great shape. She exercises 3 times a week. She still visits Atlantic City usually every other month. She takes a bus with some friends.
I am busy with my housework and my kids and their activites. I dont have time daily talking to them.
Also I try to call my sister but she lives in CA and its 3 hrs earlier. Its hard when she calls we are eating or doing homework. When I call her she is working.
Just do your best to stay in touch.

My grandma adopted my sister and I at a very young age, so she was our mom as well. Especially after having kids we talked sometimes five times a day! Some were quick funny stories or hello, and one long conversation each night. And now I'm so glad I did, because she passed away in October. And I miss those conversations more than you know! I have one voicemail she left me once saying good night and I love you, the kids and I still listen to it every night before bed! I talk to my MIL at least once a week for a really long time, and now call my grandpa every morning and to say good night, now that he's alone. They lived a ferry ride and an hour away and we went up there once a month, trying to go more often now to keep him company.

I talk to my mom and dad everyday. In fact, they live in the same subdivision that I do.

we typically talk 3-5 times a week for anywhere from 30min to 3 hrs depending on the day and what is going on. I love to talk to my mom she is very open about everything and she is quite funny and has an interesting take on things. I share with her she shares with me and we have a good time.

Yes. I talk to my mom a couple times a day. I also have 2 sisters that I talk to everyday--sometimes a couple times. My husband is military and I told him when we got married 10 years ago that he could never complain about the phone bill or plane tickets! We even lived in Germany for a few years and I talked to my mom every day. We talk to my in-laws 3-4 times a week.

I am sad to say no. My mom will not call me. I must call her if I want to talk. She feels she is "bothering" us. Even when I tell her that is silly, she will not pick up that phone. I think she wants me and my sisters and her grandchildren to dote on her. But quite frankly, she isn't easy to be around or talk to. She's just a miserable human being and no amount of love we give her will heal her.
I make a point to call her at very regular intervals because it is the right thing to do and because I love her. Often when we call, she is short with us or sometimes quite or terse in her conversation.
I could go on and on but the answer is: Sadly, no we do not speak every day

No-I try not to, and avoid her at all costs, she needs a life... Me and my boys are all adults, but she needs to know our whereabouts at all times. God forbid if you are not at work (she will call you at work to make sure you are there.) And you better listen to her advice or she will get mad at you, have a hissy fit, and not talk to you (this is good!) She expects everyone to call her and have the time to chat for hours, not, we all work (some have two jobs) and go to school. She is the one that I come on mamapedia to complain about all the time (she and my step father go to my house when we are not at home and snoops through everything, even my mail-caught them plenty of times.) As I said she/they need a life, and they have no friends (geez, I wonder why!)

every.single.day.

sometimes for little things or big things, sometimes is a happy convo, sometimes is crazy frustrating and I remember why I moved out... but I'm so glad that we can be happy, fight, and make up all over again. :)

Everyday 2-3 times a day! I cant tell you the last time we missed a day.

Nope, I'm not a big phone person but I do see her twice a week. We also eat dinner together on those nights. She babysits my daughters on Mondays and Thursdays.

YES! Now that I am an adult, I have to say that my Mom is my best friend, (other than my husband anyway), and I can't imagine life without her! I know that someday I will have to face that, but until that day comes, I am going to spend as much quality time with and speaking to my Mom. She has so much knowledge to give, and we have a great time together. We are such different people, like the total opposite. It's really funny that I could even be related to her, because we are so different, but I think it makes for much more interesting discussions. We get along very well, and at times I do get frustrated with some of the things she may do or say........ but hey, she's my Mom. She is entitled to do or say something that I don't like occasionally. I am SURE that she feels the same way about me! LOL! Really for the most part, we are there for each other, enjoy each other's company, and yes, speak to each other EVERY day. At this point in my life and hers, I would feel weird if I didn't hear from her at least once a day, just toknow that she was ok. (maybe that's just me, but I like to know that she is ok) My Mom lives alone, and works varied hours, some of which keep her out until late at night, so knowing that she is home safe and doing well is a good thing for me. My mind can rest easy. (I am sure it's payback for all the teen years with me being out late...LOL) I hope that you continue to speak to your MOm everyday. I used to talk to my Dad often too, but he passed away many years ago, and I miss him a lot. What I would give to be able to have a conversation with him now and to know what he thinks of my 4 beautiful kids........... it would be AWESOME! Family is so important. Keep them close. All of them. You never know when they will be gone!

My husband and I are independent, as is my brother. We're not still "attached to the apron strings" or anything like it. That said, we talk on the phone Monday thru Friday when my mom gets off work, on her way home. It may be anywhere from 2-15 minutes! Just a quick hello, thinking about you, touching base, call. Sometimes she's had a bad day and wants to vent, sometimes something great has happened at work. I tell her if the boys have done something funny or if we've made any progress on some of the projects we're working on. Saturdays are very very busy and we don't usually talk. But Sunday after church, I have time to myself while my husband and the boys nap....I do my weekly shopping then and I'll call her on the way to have a more in-depth call. It might be 10 minutes, it might be 30. We only see each other a few times a year, but I'd love to have her come live with us in the 2nd master bedroom we have. We are taking her on a cruise next year (she will have a lot of fun with the family activities, have time to herself for a spa and shopping, and can babysit while my husband and I go scuba diving!). I call my dad ever week, and my brother and I talk (we both call each other) every couple days. We were never really a close family when younger. When my grandma (who we love dearly and miss still, 10 years later) died, and my brother and I both got married and had kids, now we are much closer and talk very often. My mother in law has dementia and lives in Europe, but she still knows us (though we could probably talk about the same thing every time and I'm not sure she'd notice). We talk to her every single morning. I have a "grandma book" and I ask 1-2 questions from the book every day and fill it out so we can record her thoughts before it's too late. We are working on arrangements to start skyping her with an uncle's computer on weekends. Life is short. People pass through our lives and one day they won't be there. Not being morbid, but we learned after Grandma's death not to take people for granted, and to make sure people know we love them. When there's 24 hours in the day, I just don't see how a 5 minute call would be an imposition!

Almost every day . I am thankful to have my mom still living. She can be a handful, dramatic and whiney, but she stood it with me all those years. If she needs me to listen so she can vent that's the least I can do for her. I thank the heavens that my family still has her because when she's gone we will cherish every minute, good and bad!

every day ...shes texting M. now..haha....every once in a while we'll go a few days but then i'll call her tons in one day..i visit a few times a week too...shes a 45 min drve...even if she was 2 hours i would...whats an extra hour gonna hurt you? I enjoy the time with her and so does my daughter..we bicker like crazy though...=)

It's funny, I would never say my mom and I are close, but I talk to her several times a week, sometimes several a day. Today for example she called to see how the weather was here, then to tell me to check out the babies on Oprah, lol. But really there is no schedule, I don't call her daily, but rather whenever there is something even remotely interesting to share.

Oh my, I talk to my mama like 5x per day!! Sometimes it is just bc I can't remember how long to cook a casserole or to tell her something funny the kids did, just a quick little call. She comes over a few times a week to visit while my hubs is working. Since she retired we can spend more time together, she helps so much with my kids and we enjoy hanging out :)

yep!!! Every morning we talk at 9am from anywhere from 10 mins to an hour....If I'm busy and forget to call her, she will call and say I didn't get my 9 am call."

My mother is an extremely difficult person. She's one of those people who destroys everything she touches, unfortunately. I wish it wasn't like that. I always wanted a real mother whom I could trust.

I call her on her birthday and mother's day and only speak to her for a few minutes. My kids do send her cards sometimes, because I don't want them to feel completely cut off from her.

Luckily, I have wonderful in-laws.

Noooooo waaaayyy! :)
In fact, my mom and I had a discussion a few years ago that we should only take 2-3x/week, at most.

Our personalities are very different, and we found that when we talked every day, we fought a lot more. My mom can just chat on the phone and loves details about things. I hate talking on the phone (there really needs to be a "reason" to call me), and I don't do details - at least like she wants. So we'd get frustrated with each other. She'd ask for more info, and I couldn't figure out what more she'd want to know...about the most innocuous things...like how was your moring. :)

Much better now, when a few days pass and there might be things to discuss!

Quite honestly we're all too busy to talk *every* day...but we try to a couple of times a week. And we go there for a whole-day visit every weekend. She works full-time, so sometimes I'll take my girls there for a visit on her days off too. Funny enough though I talk to my dad much more on the phone. He's retired and my go-to babysitter as well :o) I think he gets a little bored with my mom gone all day at work! lol

I talk to my mom prob 2-3 times a day, and text inbetween. She is my best friend, and we get along so so well. We live about 12 minutes apart, and see each other a few times a week as well :)

We used to, but stopped after a heated argument. Things are better now, I talk to her about 1-2x a week

Yes, and if the day gets crazy for one of us and we don't talk on the phone there is a quick email sent. We don't live close so it's important for us to make the effort to talk.

Don't have a relationship with my mother, but I have a mom-like relationship with my older Sis and my MIL - I talk to them both a couple times a week. :)

Nope, every two weeks just to check in and make sure everything is ok. We don't have a good relationship, never have and my brother lives with her to take care of things. She tends to leave the stove on for hours after she's done cooking. My SILs do talk to their mom everyday, one of them several times a day. I think it's weird but they have a good relationship with her. Personally I don't want to be that close to my mom.

maybe once a week? my mom doesn't know much about taking care of kids or parenting. She thinks she does but she didn't have much to do with raising us kids. She cooked though and did the laundry :). I don't have much time and if I am going to get on the phone I'd like to talk to someone about kids, who knows about kids. So, it's usually a girlfriend. I call my mom once a week just because I am a great daughter :) but it's pretty superficial talk, and I usually go along with ehe ehe ehe when she tells me about what kids need :). I count it as wasted time.

Nope, I wish!!! My mom has a hard time hearing on the phone - so I talk to my wonderful Pops almost every day - sometimes several times a day!!

Talk to my sister almost every day as well!!

All day, everyday. I talk to my mom every single day and now with cell phones it's even more frequent. We live 500 miles apart. When I left for college I was a daddy's girl and spoke mostly w/him. Now that I'm a mom(25 yrs later) and my mom and I are both women and have more in common, we talk about 3-4 times a day. She is one of my best friends, but not in the cliched terms that is used today. Growing up she was my MOTHER, not a friend, not a pal, a very strict disciplinarian. Now we talk all day. If something happens in the family she calls (she's 1 of 12 so there's always a call about something/somebody), we laugh about it and move on. We might talk for 15 minutes or 50, just depends. And she and her mother (85 yrs old) talk everyday. They live 5 min. apart, so they see each other almost everyday.

YES! I have to or else she gets all hurt and says; ''If something were to happen to me you would be the last to know'' or something like that to make me feel guilty. She's a stay at home wife/mom like me and gets bored I guess. But yeah, I call her everyday and we text throughout the day. I guess you can say we are close. Lol.

Yes I talk to my mom everyday and she lives about 30 min away from me. I have a great relationship with her and always have. I am very close to her. There is nothing wrong with talking to your mom everyday or more! Hope this helps. Good luck!

I do. Even if it is just to tell her I love her.

No, talking on the phone is difficult in my house. I only talk to my mom about once a month for an hour or so and I talk to my dad every couple of weeks.

Just about!!! My Mom and sisters and I are very close! I am blessed to have a great relationship with all of them :)

Yes I do. My mom and I are super close, and I look forward to our talks everyday.

Once every couple of weeks is enough for me (and Mom).
She's retired and has time to do all she wants (she lives in NY, I'm in VA).
I'm working and don't have time to do everything and my son's activities keep us busy.
My sister calls Mom almost everyday (often multiple times a day) but my sister is a major drama queen and my Mom sometimes has to hang up on her till my sister gets a better control of herself.
One time my sister had a chimney fire. Her husband is trying to keep the dogs from panicking and my sister calls my Mom (they live 8 hrs away drive from each other). My Mom tells her "What do you want me to do about it? Hang up, call the fire dept, get out of the house, and call me back when it's all over.".
It was out without much fuss once the fire dept took care of it, but who makes a long distance phone call when you've got a fire to deal with?
