How often do you talk to your US families?

So do you all think I am a wierdo for speaking to my family everyday???

Nope, as I said, I did it too and wouldn't have wanted to change it.

Definitely not!!! 

When my mom was still alive, I called about every 5 days or so.  Now, I try to call my dad and sister (they live together) every week, but since my father is nearly deaf, I can't always talk to him if my sister isn't in.

Otherwise, my family life is complicated. I am from a "blended" family (do they still use that term?) and have no brothers and sisters that share both of my parents.  The communication really varies from fairly frequent Google Voice texts/Facebook/email and phone calls every few months to my one brother who I rarely speak with (nor does anyone else really).  One of my sisters who I grew up with and I used to be fairly close, but after my mom's death we've not been as close.  It's always been swings and roundabouts with her, so I am not too worried.  She's my sister, and I think that for too long I was considering her a friend, which you can rarely do with siblings.  I have a few more distant relatives on FB (cousins, step-cousins---like I said "blended, nephews, a slew of inlaws), but I don't talk to them all that much. 

I guess it's one of the reasons we chose the UK over the US.  Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and would have loved to spend more time with them, especially my parents, but ultimately my husband is closer to his than I am to mine.  I talk to my friends in the US sometimes more often than my family.

I call my mom and stepdad once a week unless my mom beats me to it. Sometimes we end up talking a couple times a week, but we never go more than 10 days without a call. This is huge on my part because I HATE talking on the phone.

I talk to my sister about twice a month. And I only talk to my brother a few times a year, particularly when I'm visiting my mom and stepdad as my mom calls him a lot and then pushes the phone in my face to have a chat with him. lol And that is the extent of my family in the US.) A lot of our communication takes place on Facebook or in email.

I'm extremely close with my parents (only child) and I want my son (their only grandchild) to have a good relationship with his grandparents, so we do talk on Skype almost daily.

I might call my mother once in awhile (like twice a month) to talk on the phone, but Skype has actually replaced most of our phone conversations. And to be honest, I prefer it over the phone now.

My husband calls his dad once a week and normally his grandmom too. We only speak to his mom when she makes herself known.

I call mine about once every fort night. I wish we could talk more, but mom and dad always seem incredibly busy.

I usually talk to my parents 1x a week or Skype them. We don't always have a lot to say, but they miss my kids desperately and want to hear any detail I might have about them. Since we set up the Skype account I feel much less guilty about them missing how the kids change, etc, and it's free, which is a huge bonus.

I'm one of the anti-social people: I call my parents maybe once a month.  They never call me. My mother used to call her mother once a week at a set time. She'd've called a couple times a day if she could have afforded it.  I know she's said that we're not close like she was with her mother but *shrugs*

With the wedding planning, I'm making a point of emailing my mother frequently. I try to inform her of decisions just as soon as I've made them (so she doesn't get confused and think I'm asking for opinions), so she doesn't feel like she's missing out on as much. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but we have very different taste in, um, everything. The less opinions she offers the less I have to say, "thank you for your input; we've decided to go with something else."

I phone my mum once a week using Google Voice (read FREE call). I'm sure she wishes I phoned more often. I talk to my sons via IM or Facebook message every few days.
