How often does your child call home?

I must say I almost am jealous of those whose kids call once a month! I have kids at 2 different schools, one a fresh and one a soph. Both call or text almost every day many times while going across campus. Sometimes I feel exhausted from hearing their every concern but I realize I am just a sounding board. I probably need to get better at brushing it off because things seem to work out for them but I do end up worrying all day about something they called to tell me! One big source of concern this year has been sickness. It’s very hard to know your kids are running a high fever, etc and you can’t be there to fetch some soup or something…I know it’s all part of becoming an adult, but it goes against the my natural mothering instinct.
