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

I phone my mum every day on the way home from work. We're very close as it was only us when my Dad left when I was 2.

She's happily remarried now though which is good so she's not on her own.

Speak every day, phone about 2-3 times a week. Or whenever something important occurs.

We text during the day and I phone her everyday too

We text everyday (me, my sister and my mom have a group chat) and video call once or twice a week

@mrssunshinexxx I’m sorry. It’s such a trite cliche and not what you want to hear - it wasn’t what I wanted to hear - but I promise it gets easier. It really does become a comfort to remember that closeness and feel how special it was to have had it.

My mum has been dead a long time....no mobile phones then...I saw her every day, I popped in on my way home from work, weekends we’d speak on the phone. I miss her very much, she was very funny and we’d laugh our heads off! She always knew when something was wrong, even if I was bright and chirpy on the phone eg she’d say ‘what’s wrong?’ She knew instinctively that I was unhappy. She’s a huge loss.....

My mum and I are very close but we don’t talk everyday - we FaceTime twice a week and WhatsApp a few times a day as I send her pics of my DC which she loves, it cheers her up.
Previous to Lockdown, we’d speak maybe once a week, sometimes abit longer but still text everyday.
I’m from a big family so if everyone of us rang her everyday, she’d never be off the phone!

@AliasGrape I do feel so lucky she was mine I couldn't of wished for a closer bond and all I can do it try to form that with my daughter x

Speak everyday with my mum, but I sometimes do it out of duty and honestly don't feel close to her.
I would never tell her about my problems but listen to all her problems and every person she knows and all their problems!

But I love her being close to my kids and that's why I make an effort

When she was alive it was prob 2 to 3 times a week on the phone, we were very close but shes been gone 10 years now, I was 32 and it was an extremely difficult adjustment to go through. Love seeing so many of you being so close to your mums, i have friends who aren't for various reasons and it makes me sad.
