Not a trespasser at all. You can set expectations now. I think a ten minute or so talk once a week is not that onerous. You can set up a regular time if that is easiest. My older son likes to tell us that most of his friends don’t talk to their parents once a week, but he mostly complies by at least showing up/answering his phone. I’ve told him since he lives alone, I worry when I don’t hear from him for two or three weeks and I don’t need more than a text saying, “I’m alive” though I would prefer to talk.
