Or if you are a mother how often do your kids call you and how often would you like them to.

I call my mom once a week on a specific day and we talk from anywhere from an hour to 5 hours and she has my complete attention.

I'm feeling a little guilty. Because I'm very introverted and because she was over sheltering I tend to keep her at a bit of a distance. We get along really well now. But she texts me a few times during the week and if I don't respond she sends a text asking if I got the text. If I'm in one of my leave me alone moods it really gets under my skin but I always feel selfish afterwards.

The more I respond the more she texts me. I feel like whatever I give her isn't enough. She's introverted too and likes/needs being alone. (I count texting as an intrusion on my alone time) But I think she thinks I'm not like that with her. Or maybe she is just being a mom and I'm being a selfish or taking her for granted.
