My parents live two blocks away, and I see them almost everyday. Anything preplanned usually comes up in general conversation. If we are gone for even one night, my dad feeds the dog while we are gone. So they know when we leave and when we plan to return. I don't make specific calls to say 'we're home' but we usually see them that day.

My father-in-law is a retired cross-country truck driver. If we are travelling a great distance, my husband plots and plans with him to come up with the best route. My husband calls him when we return, and sometimes during our trip.

I think my family knows more about my comings and goings now than they did when I was in high school. It's kind of amusing.

When my father-in-law goes on road trips on his Harley, he emails me his itinerary with a complete highlighted route, dates and times that he expects to be in certain places, and how long he plans to be there.

If my parents' vehicle is not in their driveway, I have no idea where they are.

Is that the difference between being raised in the military and raised in the country?
