Re: Long Phone Calls with parents....
My parents live in the same city, me and my hubby visit them almost every week so eventhough I talk to them every other day if not everyday it is for 10-15 mins max. On the other hand, my husband's parents are back in Pakistan, my hubby only has 1 bro who is also studying in another country so both parents in laws are by themselves for now. We talk to them every other day for over an hour. My hubby doesnt talk so much but I always have a long coversation especially with MIL. :) I think parents look forward to talking to their children more than with anyone else in old age...I like the fact your wife takes time out from her routine to talk well with her mom but I think what is bothering you is that she talks late at night, she should try to talk to them early.
