Grew up one of seven kids, with both parents, in a 900 square foot house. We were close by necessity then, but nowadays I rarely call them or chat with them online. I care if they are doing well, but they get on my nerves almost immediately during conversation ( well my sister anyway ). I don't understand having to see someone all the time in order to maintain connections. I can go a year or so and then meet up and it's just like they were next door the whole time. I enjoy my independence a bit more than others though.
Now having said that, I hope my daughter keeps in better touch with me when she leaves than I do with my parents... hypocrisy, I barely knew ya
