Saw this poll on The Project tonight and a lot of people speak to their mothers numerous times a day. I was gobsmacked because in my group of friends probably only a few talk to their mothers often, but the rest don't speak very often at all.
I used to talk to my Mum a minimum of once a week. Usually for about an hour or until my ear got sore from holding the phone next to it.
I still find myself thinking 'oh Mum will be interested in this' or 'I must ask Mum about this' or similar at least a couple of times a week even though she's been gone for 8 years.
I miss my Mum so much. I wish I had spoken more often.
Daily. Sometimes more than once a day. If I don't speak with her daily she accuses me of being a bad daughter. Lol. Half joking... We do have a great relationship, but she gets sick a fair bit so she likes it if I ring and check in, especially if I hear from my sister (lives with mum) that she's unwell.
I'm lucky to speak with her fortnightly. Not because I don't want to, but we are both busy and she works, and I hate feeling like I am bothering her if she is busy. Even just writing that feels dodgey she is still a mum of a teenager herself (my brother is only just 18) and there's been a lot of drama going on for her with my dad. They are now separated and I feel she contacts me more than when they were together, but I just feel like I am bothering her if I call when she is busy.... We have a good relationship though... I think
Surely other people with a good relationship with their mumdon't speak everyday
