I only talk to my dad about twice a month sadly. I'm horrible about calling people, and so is my dad so we don't talk often enough. I talk to my mom once a week because she always calls me.
How often do you talk to your dad?
-
Rarely. Whenever I feel like he will respond to me. He has never really been a part of my life. He hasn't met DD2 yet, and has probably seen DD1 about........12 times max.
-
We chat on IM a few times a week (briefly but it makes me feel like I'm in touch with him), and we'll speak on the phone once every week or two if I'm bad about calling.
-
Every day. Often multiple times a day. My dad and I are really close, he's kind of my BFF and my life mentor all rolled into one.
-
Almost every day, I'm such a daddy's girl (: To be fair, I try to talk to my mom just as often, but she's always too busy (:
-
I try to chat with him by phone at least once a week, more often if he's not crazy busy with work, which hardly ever happens. He sometimes answers the phone when I call my parents' house but he usually assumes I'm calling for my mom and just lets her pick up. I can usually meet him for lunch once a month or so if he's doing a job near where I live, otherwise I don't see him in person except when we go up for a visit to the parents' house, which is not very often even though they only live an hour away.
-
At least 1-2x a week, both of my parents get on the phone when I call.
-
Usually once a week. It's hard because he's on east coast time and in an assisted living. So my free times are usually his lunch/activity time
but whenever my mom picks him up for lunch, we FaceTime!Before he was in a home we talked everyday. I'm a daddy's girl
-
1-2 times a week. LO's looove my dad so not talking/seeing him isn't an option!
-
I usually talk to both my parents on the same call, about once a week. It makes for a long phone call, but I wouldn't want to feel like I was favoring one parent over the other.
ETA: if anything, I might talk to my dad a little more because I always have questions about the house and car for him to advise me on!
-
Almost never. I think the last time I talked to him was a few weeks after E was born, so at least a year. He hasn't met E.
-
Almost every day. We definitely text every day.
-
Several times per week. Dad discovered facetime this year and usually calls me using that.
-
My parents divorced when I was 10 and my mom moved us about 500 miles away. My dad called every night to talk to me and we continued that all through middle school, high school, college and just up until LO was born last month. Now that LO is here, I'm sleeping when he calls most nights, so we've been talking every 3 or 4 days now. But my stepmom and I FB all the time, so she keeps him up-to-date on days we don't talk.
-
A couple times a week.
-
Once it twice a week? We've seen a lot of my parents this summer though, so quite a bit more I guess. We're very close but he's not really a phone guy.
-
We don't talk on the phone. We live near by so I see my parents often and make a point to visit my dad at the office so he can see Chloe (and so I can visit my old co workers!). If we didn't live so close, I don't think I'd talk to my dad as often
-
Not often even though we have a great relationship. I text him every day and talk to my mom daily so sometimes if he's home she'll put him on the phone.
-
My dad has passed away but we used to see each other several times a week and talk on the phone once a week or so as well. So glad that we talked as much as we did while we could.
-
I "talk" to my dad through text about once a week but it wouldn't bother me if it was less often.
-
Not that often. Once a month maybe on average. I have a great relationship with him but I talk to my mom every afternoon and so she kind of relays info back and forth. I never really call just to say hi to him (or vice versa). So usually we just talk when we see each other. And sometimes we email funny stuff back and forth.
-
I see him a couple times a week and we text each other pretty regularly, especially now that he's on baby watch! I have never met anyone more excited about becoming a grandfather than him. I'm totally a dads girl!
-
My dad is my major support with the kids. I text at least every day and see him about 3-4 times a week.
-
We chat once every two weeks.
-
He lives across the county, but he usually gets on the phone or face time when I'm talking to my mom at least once a week. I probably call just to talk to him about something 2x a month - but occasionally more. If I'm working on a home project or something else he's helping me with, I might talk to him multiple times per day.
-
Daily.
-
Not very often, usually just if he answers the phone instead of my mom! Haha. Or sometimes I call specifically for him bc I need advice about something. We should really talk more...
-
Every day. My parents live next door so we see them every dy
-
We chat every night. First I speak to my mom and then she hands the phone to my dad.
-
Not often, my dad isn't really a phone talker (or a talker in general) so unless he answers the phone when I call home or I have a specific question for him I call my mom to catch up. We are close though and talk a lot in person!
-
Not often enough.
-
Maybe once a week, or every 2 weeks but we email back and forth throughout the week and he has text now so that helps.
-
Never on the phone, and I see him maybe once or twice a month? We're not very close now, due to a big falling out last year. It's unfortunate...I'm jealous that so many of you have great relationships with your dads!
-
Pretty often, every few days
-
Daily, we work together
-
I'd say 2 or 3 times a week. He's not a phone guy, but finally started carrying his cell as my due date approached because he wanted to be in the waiting room and it's totally happened before where we couldn't reach him when important stuff was happening. And L has also been motivation for him to figure out texting, he messages me a couple of times a week to request a picture and see how we're doing, and I go visit him and my mom at least once a week (we only live like 10 minutes away, and I'm home alone with L a lot, so it's nice to have company.)
-
I call him nearly everyday, but we probably say hi about 3 times a week. We do text a lot though!
-
I work for him so....daily (fortunately and unfortunately)
-
Almost daily. He's the only one in my immediate family I actually have a good relationship with. We talk on the phone almost every day and text regularly as well.
-
Every day, all day. We email while we're at work at least half a dozen times. If he hasn't heard from me by lunch time he calls to make sure everything is okay. I'm 100% a daddy's girl and love every second of it!!
I talked to him all day yesterday and even face-timed with him and J last night (even though he literally lives around the corner). We're super close. Obviously.
but whenever my mom picks him up for lunch, we FaceTime!
