I wonder why parents assume the children are always supposed to call them on holidays and they don't call their kids on the holidays? This is something my mom makes me feel guilty for, yet she doesn't call me either?? My dad literally calls everyone (including my sister, his daughter) on christmas, he calls extended family on his side too. I don't really get why some parents think its the daughter or son's job to call them, when they could just as easily pick up the phone and call their kids instead?
