I think it was the best thing for our marriage for us to move 1200 miles away from his parents. He was a total momma's boy.</p> <p>Not as much anymore, maybe once a week and it's usually texting.</p> <p>For me? I talk to my mom nearly every day, she also lives 15 minutes away from me, so I see her at least 1x a week. </p> <p>That quote does make me sad though because my LO is a boy, and I just want him to stay my little boy forever!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-229692 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:58:52 +0000 Arden 229692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my parents pretty often, and he talks to mine regularly too. He talks to his parents when he has to, and I avoid it like the plague. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-229663 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:01:16 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 229663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH. Yes. We live two blocks away from his parents so not only do we so them every day, but he talks to his mom on the phone and texts her every day too. She texts him to say good morning! It drives me NUTS.</p> <p>We see my parents a lot as well, but I don't have a problem telling them to leave me alone when I feel they are being too overbearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222847 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:24:01 +0000 Meridian 222847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are definitely the exception to the rule!! He talks to his mom probably 2 - 3x a week (AND see them weekly). On the other hand, I call my parents maybe once every other week, and see them once every 3 weeks or so. His parents live 10 minutes away, and mine are 30 mins away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222812 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:01:48 +0000 Freckles 222812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has a good relationship with his parents and calls them once a week. Now that the baby is here, they will call him more often!</p> <p>I also talk to my parents 1-2 times a week, but it's sometimes difficult with the time difference (we live in different cities) and busy schedules. Now that my parents know how to use email/texts, we are able to find other ways to communicate with one another.</p> <p>@mrscastro: i totally know how you feel. it's funny how the more alike you are, the more likely you are to argue about little things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222794 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:54:49 +0000 sulli301 222794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my mom once a week or so &amp; DH talks to his mom via text every few days &amp; we see his mom almost every weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222790 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:52:36 +0000 Alivoo01 222790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL calls the hubby daily or every other day, but their phone conversations last no longer than 5 minutes - max! My mom and I communicate on the same frequency via email. My mom can drag on vocally and so I've screened her calls a couple times. Emailing is simple and I can respond to all her questions and concerns to the point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222682 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:59:56 +0000 mediagirl 222682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope/Yup.</p> <p>He hardly ever talks to his parents. I talk to my Mom multiple times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222678 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:58:19 +0000 ninja 222678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since his mom lives just up the street and watches our dog during the day, we see her and talk to her just about daily. I talk to my own mother about once a week, but we do have a better relationship now that I live 3000 miles away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222677 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:58:03 +0000 MamaMoose 222677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of weird and talk to my DAD every day, but my mom maybe 2-3 times a week. I'm a totally daddy's girl and always have been.</p> <p>My husband parents always call him together and I would say that's probably once a week. We text with my husband's sister all the time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222661 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:53:52 +0000 mrsjyw 222661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my mom at least once a day.

Now, she calls me 3-4 times a DAY!! ;-)</p> <p>DH talks to his mom every 2-3 days. He is an only child, so they talk often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222592 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:22:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 222592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband talks to his mother quite frequently. I talk to my mom often as well. I text her mostly and we have weekly phone dates. My husband texts his mom too and they talk on the phone every couple weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222581 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:16:12 +0000 looch 222581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and his mom text or send emails to each other. They're in the same time zone. My mother and I are 6 hours apart, so she usually calls me around noon, as she's waking up for the day. After my son was born it was daily, but now it's tapered off to twice a week. Before that it was weekly...when I was in college I rarely called home. In fact, my mother used to leave messages with our home phone number in case I forgot it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222573 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:13:57 +0000 Minnie_Girl 222573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us talk to our mothers often. DH's mom is not in a good place right now and can be pretty difficult to deal with; I'm just not good about communicating! My older sister is the one who calls mom every evening for the family update. I rarely call (and neither do my younger 2 sisters, coincidentally). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222559 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:08:22 +0000 mrs. bird 222559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH talks to his mom more than i talk to mine. MIL can't handle going 48 hours without speaking to him. my mom &amp; i are closer though, and we enjoy each other's company, not so for DH &amp; MIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222557 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:08:14 +0000 MrsTiz 222557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work with my mom so I see her daily. DH sees his mom every week at church, and doesn't talk to her much in between then anymore,. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222543 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:57:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 222543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH talks with his mom on the phone 1-2 times a week and I talk to my mom probably 3-4 times, so both of us are very close to our parents for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222542 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:57:45 +0000 HLK208 222542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That quote is true for us, DH talks to his mom maybe once a month...sometimes once every two months. I talk to my mom every day and see her every other day.</p> <p>Although, I think of my son and it breaks my heart that someday he might call me only once a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222537 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:54:39 +0000 Weagle 222537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my parents several times a week, but DH talked to his maybe 2-3 times a month. It has gotten more frequent recently as his grandparents are in ill health and they want to know about LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222533 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:52:19 +0000 Mrsbells 222533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since having the baby I talk to my mom nearly everday, mainly because she calls me! Before the baby I would talk her atleast once a week. Dh talks to his mom once a week or once every two weeks, depending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222530 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:47:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 222530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither my mom nor I are phone people, but we text back and forth on an almost daily basis (especially since I'm so far into this pregnancy, I have about a billion questions/complaints for her, lol). </p> <p>DH probably talks to his mom on the phone twice a month, but we see them at least that often. She calls to chat with me at least once a week, though, and her and I go on "girl-dates" sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-talk-regularly-with-his-mom-how-about-you#post-222529 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:47:21 +0000 Running Elley 222529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to my mom at least every other day…either on the phone or through text.

Or are you guys the exception to this rule... </p>
