If your close with your Mum..

[AnxietyForever]

How many times a week would you say you spoke to one another? Either her phoning you or vice versa

We speak every day, video chat at the moment so she can chat to baby DD, and we’d usually meet up at least once a week. I miss her a lot.

In before times probably every second day. She has too much of a social life to fit in a daily call! At the moment it's some sort of contact most days, either one of the DC or I call her to day hello or I'm dropping shopping, etc to her. She hates feeling like an imposition so doesn't ring me unless she needs something (like to schedule a zoom call for her book club).

Every day. I have done since my Dad died in 2012. Prior to that I spoke to them both twice per week. Mom has mild-moderate dementia so it's a routine thing for her and it helps me knowing she's ok, as I live 2.5 hours away.

We speak every night. Sometimes twice per day if anything interesting is happening. Rarely miss a day. Some nights I call her, others she calls me.

We are two very different people but we are close.

Once a week. I tell her everything.

I call her every second day at the moment.

We're relatively very close now, compared to what our relationship has been like in times gone past, but only emotionally, not geographically.

It's been hard on her, even in NZ, with lockdown, at 82, and she worries about us so much, being over here and having been in lockdown for so long, so it comforts her to talk, and also reassures her that we're okay.

Text most days on and off, phone maybe once a week (we’re not big phone chat people together) usually see her at least once a week. We live 5 minutes drive apart.

We text every day and chat on the phone 2-3 times a week.

We live in different countries but we speak every single day. It may not be a big conversation if we are both busy, but she always sends a message of 'everything ok today' to me and my sibling. We video chat twice a week, and (normally) see each other every 6 weeks for a weekend.

We text everyday about anything and everything, and I call her everyday more often than not. Before this we would go shopping or somewhere together every Saturday, she is my best friend.

We don't phone much but we WhatsApp and text every day, loads of times through the day. We call if need be but we are both happy with the way things are.

Pretty much every day., or it could be two days...other times it could be six times in one day lol

Every day. Have done for at least 10 years. we’re very close

Every day, sometimes several times a day.

In normal times we chat via whats app most days with me sending pics or videos of the children and actually speak 3 or 4 times a week and spend saturdays together.

Currently video calling everyday

Not close to my mum but close to my dad, text him several times a day and phone him 2-3 times a week

We speak a few times a day .
Brother #1 Daily
Brother #2 Every other day
Brother #3 Once a week
We live close and (pre lockdown) visited their house once a week too, Sometimes We meet for coffee and lunch too

Texting throughout the day every day, see her twice a week - normally for coffee and shopping trips. We’re best friends.

We facetime 3/4 times a week. I text everyday to say good morning. She also face times with my kids a couple times a week.

At the moment every day with video call, because I worry she will feel lonely because not allowed out etc, but before lockdown I used to speak to her every 2-3 day, either video call or quick phone call. We do t always have something to talk about but sometimes it's just a quick 5 minutes "are you ok" chat.

See her pretty much every day. She is 85 and always needs help with stuff.

What do people mean by 'close'? My DM & I get on very well but I wouldn't tell her 'everything' and wouldn't call her my best friend.

We talk a couple of times a week (she doesn't use text or WhatsApp) and I do visit once a week (even now - my DPs are late 80s and I assume this comes under supporting the vulnerable).

Usually once a day.

My entire family moved back in together for lockdown but prior this we chatted on the phone every day and saw each other about twice per month (we lived 6 hours away from each other)
