Never.
She's toxic and I cut off contact with her.

Every few days, or if I have something I need to speak to her about then it may become daily.

Usually every night, sometimes in middle of day too if I have something to ask/share. I see her maybe twice a year

And if you don't have what to speak To her, how often would you call her?
If you call her just like that what do you talk about?

Every day. My mother calls her mother every day too, so I guess that's just how I was raised.

Sometimes it's just two minutes, Hi what's new? Any Simchas to tell each other about, how're the grandparents? Any cute things the kids/nephews did? What's on your agenda for tomorrow?

Random. Sometimes few times a day. Sometimes not for a few days. Today she called me in the morning to ask me something, I hadn't spoken to her since Friday. With my sister it's the same. My brothers on the other hand, call her everyday non stop.

That's so interesting and refreshing - I always thought daughters generally call their mothers more often than sons, but I guess that is just the stereotype.

It's a stereotype, but it's based on truth. Many daughters are closer to their moms than their brothers. But many boys are equally close to their moms. I would say all of us are equally close to her. Don't know exactly why my brothers call her more.

I speak to my mother every Friday. If I have a random question I'll call her another day too.

Same. And it's never enough for her.

Usually everyday. Or every other day. We used to live far away and we spoke every 2 days. Now its more often because we live really close by.

We tend to text or Whatsapp for quick questions or cute things to share. We speak a few times a week, but not on a set schedule except for erev Shabbos.

I talk to my mother daily, twice a day by her preference, and it's never enough for her. Yes, she likes to be overly involved in her children's lives. Yes, she's an empty-nester and bored out of her wits. Yes, I'd prefer to talk much less often. And yes, we've all tried to have an honest conversation with her and it's turned into WWIII.

My mother calls me just about every day, multiple times a day. We hit a really rough patch a couple years ago and didn't have any contact with one another for a while. We've since reconciled and the phone calls are daily. Sometimes I think it's too much but I almost always answer (unless I'm working).
