How often do you phone your mum?

[pinkchampagne]

I was just wondering how often others speak to their mum's on the phone, as my mum gets very funny with me if I leave it more than around 5 days.
I work in the day, then come home & have the boys demanding, & once they are in bed, I have a bath & something to eat, then it is quite late. I just feel the need to relax at that stage in the evening & tend not to make any phone calls unless I have to!
I went round to see my parents on Sunday & haven't dared to phone mum for a lift to work, as she will accuse me of only phoning because I need something!
I know I'm going to be in trouble again, so will either phone her later today or tomorrow, but I am dreading the lecture I may get!
Am I being a terrible daughter?
How often do others speak to their mum's & do you get similar reactions if you leave it more than a few days?

Sometimes I speak to my mum 4-5 times a day, and sometimes it may be a few days longer sometimes a week or so in between calls.
It depends if things have been busy or not, and if there any worrying things happening at home.
We are both quite chilled about though and don't think we expect a certain behaviour from the other, although if she is out when I call her, i do feel a little miffed

I used to phone every 3 or 4 days, but she waits ages to phone me. I once waited for her to call, and it was over four weeks!
My Dad phones one of my sisters most days, so Mum talks to her too.
My other sister still lives at home.
Sometimes it really upsets me that I'm so obviously not on her mind - other times I know it is because I give off the image of a very together and independent person - and my sisters are neither of those things.
If I spoke to my Mum about how I sometimes feel, she'd be really shocked, I'm sure.

As little as possible. I only see her because she has ds on Saturdays and that's usually only for about 10 minutes.
We could quite happily go for weeks without speaking.
Quite depressing really.

I mean I only see her for 10 minutes as she picks ds up.

That does sound a little depressing PC

I call my Mum every evening except Sunday's. I am an only child and she lives for my phone calls. If she does not hear from me she panics and would send out a search party.

We have nothing really to talk about every day, she tells me about her neighbours, what she bought from the shops and what she had for tea. Bloody boring really.

My mum lives just down the road.. I ring her several times a week.. or several times a day.. it depends
How far away do your parents live pinkchampagne?

My Mom lives on the other side of the pond (thank god) and I call her about once a month.

Twice a day on average.But never about anything important.

About once a month, if that with maybe a couple of emails in between

Most days. Usually it's me calling her but I would never wait for her to call me.

I phone my mum every day bar weekends, but i am a SAHm and i suspect if I were in your situation i probably wouldn't.

I could go for ages. But I ring more than she does and I also ring both my sisters more than they ring me. Sometimes though if something is going on it will be more frequent.

I am a bad daughter!
I will phone her tomorow & be a good daughter!

Once a week and have a really long chat then.

Think I've upset my mum.

I have a Skype phone, so every other day or so we chat.

I used to ring my mum about every 4-5 days - wish it had been more often now

DH never has to ring his mum - he just waits five minutes after he gets in from work and...

Mum and I speak about 2 to 3 times a week. It's about equal who phones who.

I feel bad & know I need to phone her more often. I have been a bit crap recently.

I Call my mum about 6 times a day (she also calls me too) and I call & text my sister about 3 times a day.

My mum and my big sis are my best friends

We all live far apart though

I also send my mum & sister flowers regularly & childrens photo's & drawings.

My parents live nearby, we are in in the same town.
