It really frustrates me especially now that people know I have a baby they just keep calling and calling to "chat" I dont know how to get through to them that I dont have time to "Chat" and I'm not really interested in long unnecessary conversations. I prefer to text or talk in person. kml636 on "Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-find-yourself-spending-less-time-on-the-phone#post-218526 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:42:57 +0000 kml636 218526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I truly hate talking on the phone! There are certain people (relatives) I dread calling because I know it will be an hour long call at least. I still make the effort, though. banana on "Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-find-yourself-spending-less-time-on-the-phone#post-218491 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:15:23 +0000 banana 218491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'll talk to my close girlfriends for long periods of time every other week or so after we put our LOs down.. But overall, I'd say my phone time has definitely decreased.

A year later, I apparently haven't recovered because I still don't like talking on the phone, even though I used to love it. Now, texing or seeing people in person are my primary ways of staying in touch.

The only time I've been on the phone is with Drs or if I needed an immediate response from the person I am communicating with. I used to spend hours on end on the phone with my friends previously though.

I used to be obsessed with the phone when I was younger. I remember calling my friends everyday after school and having hour(s) long conversations about the most random stuff. I can't imagine how we talked for HOURS, I can barely spend 10 minutes on the phone these days without wanting to end the conversation, haha!

However they aren't as frequent as they used to be since we are both so busy! I used to talk on the phone for hours a night, now I prefer to spend time with my DH and dog :) chopsuey on "Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-find-yourself-spending-less-time-on-the-phone#post-218350 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:37:40 +0000 chopsuey 218350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I talk to DH at night when LO's gone to bed and he's out of town.. Still talk to my mom and sister almost every day. -.- I barely talked to anyone during the first couple of months though mrstilly on "Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-find-yourself-spending-less-time-on-the-phone#post-218329 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:24:43 +0000 mrstilly 218329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I still do, especially with people who live far away. Not as often, and sometimes email replaces a phone call, but I try to keep in touch by phone as well. A cute twist is that my son figured out the concept of a phone and now talks (babbles mostly) when he sees the phone. My friends and family get to talk to both of us in one call. mrbee on "Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-find-yourself-spending-less-time-on-the-phone#post-218325 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:22:06 +0000 mrbee 218325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I was younger, I would randomly call my friends now and then and have long conversations. I almost never do that now. I email or text or gchat with my friends... and if we have time, we'll get together in person. But those long phone calls are much more rare for me these days. Do you find yourself spending less time on the phone with your friends? If so, is it due to getting older, new technology, having less time or something else entirely?
