Family who call every day, is this weird?

OP, I find it interesting that you belittle eMat's point that many people have daily correspondence with their mothers, assumably because you wouldn't mind talking to your mom everyday, yet it somehow bothers you when someone else talks to someone else.

I'm not saying anything about you and your marriage, I'm too young and never been in that stage so I wouldn't dare tell you what to do about talking to her concerning it. But do you see my point? It is strange that you are bothered by phone calls that aren't even made to you. There are many things in life that you will be forced to deal with directly, learn to let that which does not matter truly slide.

If you determine that it does truly matter, then isn't that where married people have knock-down drag out fights?

 

My family called every single day when I lived in the dorms at UH. Only 20 miles from home.

The perils of being hispanic

 

I see. I took the "soooooo" in your post as sarcastic, and I now understand that you were not being sarcastic. My bad, I misunderstood.

 

I endorse this plan.

 

droxford, mi estimado amigo... was this you, or the DRUNK you?

Please let THIS YOU post more often.

On the other hand... that's freakin' weird... I don't think Mrs.SageHare6 would be happy to hear that...

 

Sage, it's normal, my wife does the same thing.. I don't mind the sister calling though, it's when the mother calls so often I start to get annoyed..

 

I only read the first post, but yeah: you've gotta get over this one. My mom and her sister talk almost daily and see each other several times a week. They're not twins, either.

 

Don't worry it happening to me too just wait and don't answer long enough they stop calling

 

My mom and her sister talk to each other every day...when they aren't mad at each other...it's not that weird, I guess

 

My mother calls me every day... lol.

I have a friend whose mother calls her 6-7 times a day.

 

LOL You would die if you were married to one of my five older sisters. They all live within 5 minutes of each other and about 7 minutes from my mom's house. Everyone talks to each other at least once a day. Not to mention the almost daily visits.

 

My family is just the opposite. When I went to college for the first time, I didn't call them for about 6 months. After college, I can go anywhere from 3-6 months without speaking to anyone in my family. We just call each other if we need some work done or have some job specific questions. When I tell people that no one in my family calls each other for their birthdays, they think I'm from another planet or our family is a bunch of robots.

I guess we just do our own thing. I tend to be closer to my friends than my family.

I had a somewhat decent childhood, but everyone in the family was kind of distant never showing any feelings or emotions.

 

Isn't his sister-in-law calling everyday? hispanic?

I see nothing wrong with the calls...I guess its a girl thing as I talk to my brother maybe once a week, if that...I talk to my kids everyday and I wouldn't change that...

 

After my dad died, I started calling my mom every day. You don't realize what you have until it's gone.

 

Exactly.

Appreciate what you have now because eventually they won't be there anymore.

OP, if it really bothers you, just tell your wife to go and speak with her sister in another room or something.

 

I call my Mom and sister daily and they live two blocks from my house. My brother.. not so much.

It's definitely a girl thing.

 

my parents would call me daily or expect me to call daily when i was in college. it was downright annoying actually because there really isnt much for me to say thats that different from the day before. i guess since i was the younger of two kids they experienced 'empty nest' syndrome with me leaving for school. we wouldnt talk for too long but it happened that they would usually call at the worst times possible.

now though my older sister calls a bit more often, but she has more to talk about with my mom now in terms of advice (she is expecting her first child) but my folks and I talk maybe 3-4 times a week. we gotten to an understanding really that while its not like i dont miss them or anything but there really isnt much to say from day to day for me to tell them constantly whats going on. and most of the time now when i do call all our conversations sound pretty much the same. when i am through talking with my mom she gives it to my dad and he pretty much tells me/asks me the same things my mom just did.

its probably is a girl thing

 

Dump her.
