I’m right there with you about the whole ‘me time’ thing. I can be a total loner and be absolutely ok with it. But when a friend comes around, I don’t shut up.

And Wow, your parents text message you? My parents don’t even bother. “Oh, yeah, there was some weird icon that popped up on my phone. That was a text?”

Good for you! I have a hard time remember to stay in touch with everyone too, but I’m trying to get better. Facebook helps, and I try to text people more just to say hi and that I’m thinking of them.

I know what you mean, when I was living away my mom would call all the time and get mad for me not calling. It’s just hard.

Wish my mom would text, might make it easier!

Maybe your parents should text. I think I speak to mine more now that they do.

I text my dad a dozen times a week. I see my mom on Sundays, though she calls me more often now that I don’t live at home. My relationship with my mom isn’t THE BEST. She gets on my nerves wicked easy, but I also know she worries. She IS and always has been the overprotective type, which is probably why I push away so much. But I know that if I’m not going to see her, I’ll call ahead of time. I’m bad at remembering to call her. But it’s so easy to talk to my dad. He pretty much always knows what I’m up to. He’s one of my best friends on the planet.

My parents are the same way. They freak out if they don’t hear from me. I guess the protectiveness never goes away, even though I’m almost 30.

I have ‘Smooth Criminal’ stuck in my head now.

Yeah, I get those phone calls from my parents, too. “We haven’t heard from you in a week! ARE YOU ALIVE?!?’

haha. Oops.

I’m the same way with my time. I don’t like talking on the phone, but I try to visit my mom’s house once a week to see her.

Even though I live only about 15-20 minutes from my family, I rarely see them. After work, I just like to go home and relax, even though my parents house is on my way home. I really need to start thinking of how much they like to see me, though, rather than how much “me” time I’ll be getting.

I’m the other way I talk to my Mum either actually on the phone or via text/email nearly everyday and then see her at least once a week – it’s weird when we dont have our random conversations.
