[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 51092, member: 1835"] Meow, I can't say I was a easy child, but I was always fairly conscientious about trying not to do anything that would affect my family negatively as long as it didn't interfere too much with my own life. Despite that, when I left home at age 19, I was simply thrilled to finally be independent and didn't spend much, if any, time thinking about keeping in contact with my parents (who lived and still live less than 4 miles away...) because I KNEW I was loved by them and that was enough. Now that I'm much older, I can only wonder how much it must have bothered my parents that I was perfectly content, only being in contact occasionally, until around age 25 or so. Now, I don't go a more than a day or two without at least calling my parents. However, back in my 20's and 30's, it wasn't so much that I was being deliberately uncaring about my family but rather that I felt so secure in our relationship that it never occurred to me that I needed to be in any sort of regular contact to keep it strong--it was a given. Guess we live and learn as the years go by... [/QUOTE]
