im 23 and live away from home.
my dad rings me about twice a week but my mum? well, its been over 3 weeks now i always end up ringing so this time, im gonna wait for her to ring. she gets free minutes to my phone so theres no excuse.
just thought she would have got in touch by now. i started a new job last monday and you would have thought she would have wanted to know how it was going yeah? im also moving but last time i spoke to her i didn't know where but now do. im moving in 2 weeks yet she hasn't rang to even see whats happening even though she knows thats when i need to move out? so yeah, got alot going on.
for those that live away from home... how often do your mothers ring you?
just feel like i dont exist to her sometimes :crying:

You should give your mum a ring and ask her why does she not ring every now and then you wont know unles you ask.:yes:
Even though it feel like you will be :banghead:
I speak to my dad occasionally. He never checks his email ever so it's usually over the phone. Then again I'm used to not hearing from him very often from when he was in Africa, so it doesn't bother me.
Why don't you call her?
she only rings me if she's got a drama going on and she wants to tell me all about it.
she never actually rings to see how i am. its always me ringing. just upsets me a bit i guess. you think she'd want to know how her daughter is.
she rings my brother's who live a few miles up the road from her every night though (she also sees them ALOT more). thats what bugs me.
she rings them every night. she rings me what? never! its always having to be me that makes the effort. ive had enough now. im actually interested to see how long she'll leave it.
Now she's retired, she phones about twice a week, and emails me at work most days (sometimes just to tell me she's got nowt to tell me). I think it's just that she was so busy before, and she kinda forgot how long it'd been between contact! Now she's got nothing better to do I can't get rid of her!
my dad and i email occasionally
But other than that I will only speak to her every week or two. But we chat for hoooours. God, we're so bad on the phone! It goes on and on and on! But I love it =] Will talk to my stepdad when I'm on the phone to mum but he's not so good at phone chat.
my dad however ive maybe spoke to him once in the last 18 months despite him living 10 mins away:thumb:
sigh.
Soz, but my dad moved house and didn't talk to me for 7 years. I totally win this game.
