<p>THE KIDS ARE NOT GOING TO CALL HOME OR ANSWER YOUR CALL OR RSVP TO EMAILS. get use to it. They got too much to see and so little time.</p>
<p>Dang I wish I had seen a thread like this when I was at home when my Mum was sick last winter. I would leave the hospital and be waiting for the bus home and would be so upset I would phone my husband in the US on my US cell phone. I had my Mum’s prepaid English mobile phone on me for calling my brother with updates and my husband could have called me back on that if I had just thought of that! Our phone bill was nearly $1000. I did not have time to think of or look into this when I left :eek: . Oh well at least I know what to do for my daughter if she follows through with her study abroad plans.</p>
<p>Am going to have to convince her that the 1500-2000 texts a month will have to stop while she is in Europe.</p>
<p>A parent to parent question - do you find it as strange as I do how they like to text rather than talk? I would much rather chat to a friend (or my daughter) and get to hear their voice so I find it funny that they text more than talk.</p>
