Should I stop texting him?

[BlondeOnATreadmill]

Son went off to Uni. I text him every day, at about 5pm, to ask how his day has been. He replies. So fine. But, I know that if I didn't text him, that I wouldn't hear from him for weeks on end. Should I stop? I am feeling a bit fed up, that the effort is all mine. I send him money every month to keep him afloat (if that's relevant). I told him how I feel last night. He replied then. But fuck all from him today. Help!

May I recommend Find My Friends if you've both got iPhones? Has helped my anxiety massively. I've got DH and my parents and siblings on it and it means I can see where they are and they can see where I am. Saves a lot of worry on everyone's parts when travelling/away from home etc.

You're sweet! It must be hard when they leave home he doesn't need daily texts, in fact they probably stress him out a bit, worrying if he hasn't replied on time etc. Worrying that your worrying iyswim! Once a week is fine

FellOutOfBed - there is NO WAY ON THIS EARTH that the OP's son will let her do that!

Ah thanks. No, we don't have iPhones. Probably a good thing!

Imperial you're probably right and I was always somewhere I shouldn't be as a teen but my family and friends all use it now, I have to say.
