How often does your child call home?

When my son went off to college (he’s now a senior) I had to text him after about 10 days to tell him to call his mother RIGHT NOW or my wife was going to have a nervous breakdown. He settled in to calling once a week on Sunday afternoon/evening but we’re lucky to get 15 minutes out of him. My daughter started this year - she calls at least once a week, often a mid-week call as well and gives us much more information - 45 - 60 minute calls (actually, I’m usually on for the first 20 - 25 minutes then I wander away and she and my wife go for another 30 - 40 minutes.
