How long do you spend on the phone

[sara76]

with your mom per week? That is if you don't see each other regularly.

We talk everyday (well, for the most part) and probably speak about 20 mins.

I spend a majority of my time alone since my H works so much so I regularly call my mom when I am bored, LOL.

Last week we went three days without speaking and I about sent the search parties after her.

[sara76]

I talk with mine about 3xs a week and after about 45 minutes I try to get off and it takes about 15 to say goodbye. I'm curious if that's regular.

I talk to my mom on the phone every day. I also see her every day bc she watches Aiden after school for me. That may be lame but oh well lol

[jennifer8080]

My mom and I live close by, and I talk to her usually at least once a day. I can't spend 45 minutes on the phone with anyone in a given day. My kids would never allow it. And I just don't care to talk on the phone that much. I'd rather text.

I talk to her every morning. But that's mostly her talking and me listening.

[sara76]

If I saw mine more I think I would have more to say. She rarely visits. She came for my nieces birth and then not again until my wedding which was 9 years later. And then 3 years after that for As birth and will likely never come back. So it feels silly to talk about certain day to day things like my work schedule for the week and what days H has off this week and the weather and stuff. She likes to hear every detail about A on repeat which is very sweet but I don't have time to chat for hours. When A naps I've got things to get done. I'm pretty comfortable with 3 hours a week but I'm always feeling like it's an inadequacy in my life. This turned into a rant. Sorry about that, not my intention. Just curious about normal people's relationships.

When I lived in MA and she lived down here, and my average commute was 1:15 to 1:30 in the evening I'd frequently call her on the way home to pass the time. I'd say two to three times a week for about 45 minutes.

Now that I see her more often, I still call every few days, but conversations are more like ten to fifteen minutes.

[lauren9317]

We talk once a week or so. Sometimes a little less.

[kimandross]

We talk probably 3-4 times a week, depending. A lot of that is her "talking" to Quinn. We have a pretty surface level relationship, so our talks are pretty much about what is going on in a day-to-day routine. They last maybe 30 minutes. Since I've been here for a week, I probably won't talk to her for a while once we leave.

[mrsmew]

Before the baby was born, and while we were still in NYC, I would call my mom once a week and we would talk over an hour. We would also try to say goodbye for like 15 minutes but always kept remembering more we wanted to say.

Since Ellie was born we stopped talking on the phone and just Skyped a few times a week. Now that we live closer I'll probably rarely talk to her on the phone but see her more frequently.

[jen812]

I usually talk to my mom daily. Sometimes several times a day for short periods (15 minutes). We also try to skype/facetime once a week.

[moonstone523]

I talk to my mom every day or every other day. We also email quite a bit during the day. If we haven't "heard" from each other in some form or fashion one starts to worry.

Yup, I also have the situation where my mom can't say goodbye quickly! If she's in a good mood, she'll be like "Ok, goodbye, say hi to Jason and tell his parents I say hi and we look forward to seeing you at some point soon and I hope you have a good day and don't forget to send me that thing and..." on and on, lol. It's sweet though.

[sara76]

Lauren, ha! Mine just carries on the conversation. "Ok mom, I'm going to get going, Amelia is getting antsy and I have to get her settled down". "Ok give her a hug for me. I'm going to go too, I am thinking of trying a new recipe for lunch and have to go to the store. Did I tell you about that ambrosia I made the other day? Chris and Shelley loved it. They had it when they came over for Jays hockey game. He scored twice, he was so cute..."

[melis74]

I used to talk to my Mom every day, sometimes more than once per day. They certainly weren't 45 minute conversations though. She also lived local so we saw each other every week.

[tashaandsage]

My mom lives about 45 minutes away, far enough that we don't see each other all the time. Usually a few times a week we'll chat for about an hour. We also text frequently and will often have short conversations on other days.

[babybchbum]

I email and text her more than talk on the phone but me mig take 45 min total on the phone weekly. I usually see her once a week as well.
