[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690580, member: 1550"] Walrus, absolutely. Once they move out and on it is wrong and unhealthy in my opinion to expect daily calls and your inclusion constantly in their lives. No new SO and most of our adylult kids don't want us to crave that much from them. They move on. We must. Healthy distance is different from total cut off. I talk to my girls oce or twice a week and we text and I Skype with granddaughter. I see Princess and the grand every other month for an overnight or two. Jumper comes around on her werkend off. Sonic calls a lot, usually for short blurbs of info...lol. Bart calls every day, but he is not married. I am busy myself and call maybe once a week. They call me more than I call them. I don't want to he that mom that is sniveling over the phone "love me,bin your mother!!!" I let them take the initiative most of the time. There are some parents who want to helicopter adult children who have their own families and I don't think that this often ends well. [/QUOTE]
