My 21 daughter has refund to return my calls she says I bug her call her to much, she going on irview and just wanted to know how the interview went? She went on the inteview on Monday I called and left messages everyday until Sunday and still no response. So I begain to worry I had everyone in our circle checking up on her to find out she was fine. Not only did I look like fool my feeling were extreamly hurt. I feel in was disrespectful and totally unnessacary. If she didn't want to talk she could have texted my or email. Not I am totally upset with her and not sure of how should reponsed. Please help

My son moved out. Stopped talking to me and when he did it was all against me. How I want to control him. How he is grown up and leave him alone... Well it ate away at me so much I had a Heart Attack . Seen him in the hospital for 3 days. But after that he's back to never coming over. Not calling . When I call he doesn't answer... Only maybe a text. We are not invited to his apartment . Don't let your son eat away at u like mine has done.... Broken Hearts can cause Heart Attacks!!!

I agree with Vivan, let her miss you. but if she still doesn't call send her a letter in the mail and tell her how much you love her and that a relationship is two way - not one way and she needs to keep up her end of it. Explain to her that it is rude and inconsiderate to let you worry about her. Ask her how she would feel if she really needed you and you did not return her phone calls or answer when she called and left her hanging (make her answer that question)!!!! maybe then she will get it. if she keeps it up then when she calls do not answer and see if she then "gets it" this should work.

How do I handle my son not wanting me to call him. I call maybe once a day or every other day and sometimes he won't answer my calls or call me back. I even told him that I wouldn't call that much but I wanted him to call me on sundays. And he said, " Sundays are football days" and he didn't call me on Sunday. He won't tell his dad not to call him, and he calls him two or three times a day. How do I take that??? Any suggestions???

It was very difficult for me when my daughter left for college. I think I cried for about three months.

Oh...I am so sorry...that must really hurt. I have a teenage son and it hurts my feelings when he won't accept a hug or pat on the back. I do remember that my brother really cut the strings from my mom, but they are now very close. I think guys at some point in their lives feel like they have to really cut the apron strings and be men. He just hasn't realized yet that he does need his mom, but he will. We moms love our little boys and want those sweet little boy days

Guess I am like everyone else here. My 21 year old moved out 2 years ago and it drove me crazy not talking to him or seeing him everyday. It does get better with time I assure you. Try texting or emailing, not the same as hearing his voice, I know, but better than nothing. He will come around in time, mine did.

I've been there, this is my son 2nd year. I called him sometimes 3 times a day, and like your son he stop answering my call, we talked and I ask him to help me let him grw up to be a man. So what we agreed to is I call him once a week, or for him to call me once a week, then at a certain every night I text him to tell him good nite, I love him and to pray. guess what it works for us. Oh yeal, he calls me more now, because he feels like he's in charge of his life. We must give them space to grow.

What happened? People used to be thrilled when their brats turned 18 and could be kicked out of the house. Now parents want Junior and Princess to rot away at home with them forever, seemingly not giving a shit if their kids ever learn to grow up, be independent adults and quit sucking on Mommy's tit. If Moo can't keep her kids at home dependent on her, she'll passive-aggressively make them feel bad for daring to have their own lives that don't revolve around her and her whims.

I came of age in the 70's and early 80's when most self kids couldn't wait to get out of their parents' house. It was acknowledged that having milk crate bookshelves and living in a dump was worth it because you were free. I think the rise of Mommyism, where parents, particularly Moomies, have no life outside their kids can be blamed for the current trend + a healthy dose of consumerism + in some cases student loan debt. .

As far as the consumerism, affluent kids don't want to spend any time in apartments---they want to go right to houses, usually financed by Mom and dud, and they want all the techno gadgets.
