I often call my mother once a week and often do it on fridy evening.Sometimes I have nothing to tell her,just want to listen her voise.If I don't do it I will feel upset all day.I don't know why I want to do that,I think is just because I like my mother to much.

My mother and I do not really get along ever sice she married my stepdad and had my brother she has pushed me aside because I am another man's child and I don't fit in her picture perfect world. I used to call her once a week when my first child was born and then she started to get mean again. I now talk to my mom a few times a year I do call more than that but she never answers my calls. I have some much anger and recentment towards her I don't know why I even bother calling but on the other hand I do love my mom. When I call I loose all interest and forgot what is was I called to say and I end up sounding like an idiot. I do how ever call my grandmother a few times a week and she was more of a mother to me anyway but I don't know if that counts.

I'm sorry about that. and i'm really appreciate what you have done. No matter how you mom treats you ,she is always you mom who brought you to this world. Maybe she would regret what she had done to you one day and be a good mother to you and a good grandma to your children.

i'm sorry about that. However i really appreciate what you have done. No matter how your mother treats you, she is always your mother who brought you to this world so that you can live your wonderful life. Maybe your mother will realize her mistake and regret for that one day, and then become a good mother to you and a good grandma to your children.

I call my mom everyday if she hasn't already called me. Sometimes I call her even if I have already talked to her.

I do love my mom very much. I have other important things in my life but I feel that it is good to keep in contact with her and to let know I love her and appreciate.

I think you must love you mom very much so that you think nothing is important except you mom.

grief, I miss my mom - Expressing grief at losing my mom and how much I miss her!
(ok, now sniffling), I lost my mother nearly 6 years ago and I'd probably give most anything to hear her voice (the last time she spoke was over 6 years ago). But the last few years of her life, I relied on her a lot (being a young parent, I had LOTS of questions; a sounding board to get through my marital problems (I wasn't allowed by my ex to call anyone but my parents or sister); work advice). You must be very close to your mom--cherish her while she's on this earth!

I don't call my mother. I answer the phone when she calls me about 1 time out of 10, so I suppose I talk to her once every few months. I don't really like talking to her, but I can only avoid her so long before she has every other member of my family calling me and bugging me. It's like an art form, figuring out exactly how long I can put it off before I get that kind of annoyance. To be fair, if I had a mother who had actually raised me, I'm sure I would talk to her more often. I don't think there's anything wrong with talking to your mother as often as you do, if you love her!

Usually for me it's my mom calling me. She calls me once a week usually Sunday afternoon. She works the night shift at Walmart then sleeps most of the day, so it's works out better to have her call me when she's available to talk. I don't want to interrupt her sleep, and she knows she can call me anytime, because I'm a stay at home mom.

That is a good way.Yes,sometimes we should do as the situation,but I think if sometimes you call her in a right time she must be very surprise and happy.

I was raised by my grandmother and when she was alive I called her every day. Not that she did anything exciting since she was retired but I just wanted to make sure she was OK. On the days I did not call, I felt bad. Now that my kids are grown and out of the house it kills me that they do not call me as much as I would like. They call when they need something or need to borrow money or need to come over to do laundry, but just to call and say HI would be too much for them. I really hurts my feeling they don't call and I have mentioned it but they don't seem to care. Do not ever feel bad cause you call, because speaking from a mother's point of view, it is appreciated.

Usually about 2 or 3 times a week. It mainly just depends on the type of mood I'm in too. If I'm having a week that I'm more depressed and down I will call her more because just gearing her makes me feel better and cheers me up.

I call my mum every few weeks or so, we both have very busy lives, she runs her own business that keeps her busy for 6 days a week and I have 4 children and so my days are very busy until late in the day too. We text each other though in between and I email her. The only trouble with phoning my mum is that we are always on the phone for about 2 hours or more! That is another reason we do not phone each other more often because we never shut up!

Its very expensive to make international calls and I am limiting my phone bills, thus I called my Mom or my parents once in a month. But almost everyday I send an sms to them, either forwarding a message or asking how are they back home.

I usually contact with my mother once or twice a week. Some of my friends seldom call their parents. They feel that there are generation gaps between them. It's fortunate that I don't have this problem. I like talking with my mother, mostly about my studies, my everyday lives, etc. And I always feel happy and relaxed after the call. I think people should often keep in touch with their parents and this will be good to both sides.

once more than one month before when i was a student. i seldom rang, i don't thing there's anything to share with her, nor she would give her opinions. Every time i turned to her for help, she'd say it's up to yourself. things changed when i started to work, every week, sometimes 2 or 3 days. i want her to listen my progress, i like listening to her grouses etc. maybe i've grown up,haha

I dont call my mom unless I have to. See my mom ha instant messinger so it is easy enough for me to talk to her on there and tell her what is going on.

I don't call my mom..because she lives in another continent and it's hard to call from here...I usually end up losing money and still not getting the line through. So, my mom calls me every week..and if I'm having a problem, she calls up everyday. When she is in the same country as I am, I usually call her every couple of days.

I don't usually call my mother, but once a while, she will call me because she needs me to buy some stuff for her. I do go to her home once a week to see her though. She lives in the same estate as my church, and after church service every Sunday, I will drop in on her to say hello, bring some groceries for her likes bread and fruits, and just catch up on things.

I'm now in a university in another city away from home, It will take me 4 hour to go home by train. So i can only go home twice a year during summer and winter vacation. Thanks to BELL and his invention, i can call my mom and listen to her voice. i call her once a week.Sometimes i tell her things happen in our school and she tell me what happens at home. and every time before hanging up, mom will ask me to buy myself something good to eat and take good care of myself, and i feel warm love after hearing this.i really love my mom.

I speak to my mother everyday. it was never like that in the past, i would only normally speak to her 2 or 3 times a week but during my pregnancy and now her first grandson is here i speak to her everyday. I think its important to keep in touch with your mum because she will always be there for you and will be the one constant in your life. Without your mum you wouldnt be here.
