phuturephunk Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 How often do you talk to them? - Once or twice a dayHow often do you visit? - Depending on if they need help, maybe 4 times a week or so ( trust me, its comedy, I'm making good salary and I'm on my way, but I can't seem to escape them . . Its a Jewish thing . . . )How much do you tell them about your life? - Not much, if anything. Work related stuff I shoot the shit with my dad about everyday.How often do you ask their advice and for what? - Sometimes, mostly on financial matters (from my dad) and ettiquite (!) (from my Mom)How much financial support do they give you? - None, I pay them off to stay away from me and how old are you/ how long have you been out of the house? - 24/ 6 years.

How often do you talk to them?My mother I try to talk like 2 times a week just to make sure all is well with her... My father I probably talk to at most about 2 times a month. How often do you visit? I visit my mother about once every week. Although they are not always long visits... Sometimes short... But she lives only 5 minutes from my sister so when ever I go to see my God son and my 2 other nephews... I go visit mom... Or she will be at my sisters...As for my father... He lives a little further than my mother so my visits are alot less frequent...How much do you tell them about your life? Not very much... Sometimes I talk about things that are going on. But never about my love life... If I am confused about anything or need advise about certain things in my life it is usually with my sister. How often do you ask their advice and for what?On occasion... Again that is for my sister or my friends...How much financial support do they give you?Used to help out... But I never ask anymore... Even if I have to struggle I try my best to do it on my own... There will be a slight occasion if an emergency comes up that is bigger than my means... Then I will swallow my pride... Or what ever you may want to call it. and how old are you/ how long have you been out of the house?24 Years old... Been on my own for 6 years...

tastyt Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 How often do you talk to them?- I talk to my Mom once every few weeks, my Dad maybe once every other month.How often do you visit?- rarely; when my Mom was living on LI I was out there basically only for holidays and big family events. Now that she lives upstate, who knows, but it won't be very often. I see my Dad every few months.How much do you tell them about your life?- Nothing too "personal." My Mom and I get along really well but she still is, after all, my Mom...How often do you ask their advice and for what?- neverHow much financial support do they give you?- well I had to live w/my Mom for 6 months this past year, but other than that, none, although I know that there's always that safety net if I need it.and how old are you/ how long have you been out of the house?- 27/ it's been 5 yrs (except for that 6 month period mentioned above, and not including college).

sibelfille Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 How often do you talk to them? once a weekHow often do you visit? once a monthHow much do you tell them about your life? everythingHow often do you ask their advice and for what? i don't have to ask, they just give it which can sometimes be a bit annoying.How much financial support do they give you? They haven't supported me since I was 18.and how old are you/ how long have you been out of the house? I'm 23 but I've been out of the house since 18-- went to college, came back and then live with them for a month and then my dad formally kicked me out (on good terms). I was glad to go because it can be too close for comfort. I feel as though I've grown closer to them because I don't see them everyday-- There's just a limit to how much you can depend on your parents...you eventually have to pick yourself up and be an independent person.
