You can’t ask a question like this and expect a right or wrong answer. Our relationships with our dads are all different. I talk to my my mom twice a week, dad once or so a week on one of those calls, once every two months or so JUST Dad. I go visit one month.
Anymore would be too much, any less too less.I love my Dad and I know my Dad loves me, but we aggravate each other and always have. If we started talking more, we’d soon talk even less than we do know.

I talk to my dad at least twice a week. I’m sorry your relationship with your dad is not what it should have been, but I would encourage you to reach out and perhaps start anew. My dad will be 75 this year, and I know I need to talk with and see him more than I do.

quote:this is a copout. I have noticed a lot of these boomers that are getting older expect their children, neices, and nephews to check in with them like they are kids. They fail to see it is a 2 way street. It is not our responsibility to always check in when we have our own familes. I had this issue with some of my aunt's and I told them that for the past 20 years I have been the one initiating the communication. And I will continue to do so when I feel like talking but if they want to talk, they need to they need to talk some initiative and reach out.
about not checking in more with him
Needless to say I haven't heard from them in a few months.

I text with him every few days, probably on the phone every week or so. He works shift work, so it's hit or miss when he's sleeping some weeks

You never know what your mom did or said to him. Hes human. Im sure he made mistakes as well.
You are missing as much as him.
BTW, your mother sucks as much as him. She had as much or more of an opportunity to make you talk to him everyday. She was your leader...and failed

My dad passed away two years ago , he was also my best friend . We talked everyday and he was 82 when he passed. I have a step son and step daughter that I raised. My step son stays busy with his job (calls twice a week)but my step daughter calls me every day. I never refer to them as “ step” because they hate that and I’m just dad. Their biological father wasn’t in their life when they were young but is now. We were at a cookout last year and he apologized to me for not being a better father. I told him no apologies were needed, I was blessed having them in my life and I was sorry that he missed out on two great kids

Whenever I need advice or someone to talk to

Mine passed away Thanksgiving Day 2018. We used to talk a lot then had a bit of a falling out before making up before passed. We would talk a few times a week. But without fail he would call me every Saturday morning in the fall for a Gameday chat. I miss those.

I make sure to call him at least 2 times a week. And see him 1 time or more a month.

The phone works both ways. It sounds like if you a relationship with your dad, you have to make the calls.

I’m 34 and my dad passed away a little over two weeks ago. It was unexpected and he was only 62.
I talked to him daily. Multiple times per day at times. He was my best friend.
I thought we had a lot of time left. I’d give anything to talk to him again.
Call your dads, folks.

My father killed a woman over 80 dollars and is spending the rest of his days in prison. I haven't spoken to him in 12 years. I use to write drunken letters to him expressing just how much I hate him. I'm almost four months sober and wrote him a final letter in rehab forgiving him and letting it all go. For y'all that have a good father give him a holler. Don't take it for granted.
