  • In western society there are a lot of markers of adulthood like getting a job, moving out

  • of the parental home, getting married, and having children.

  • And people tend to get anxious when they fail to check one of those boxes while they are

  • reaching a certain age.

  • In my opinion, this is kind of dumb, life is a non-linear game, why do people always

  • treat it like it's a linear one?

  • But that being said, I am a hypocrite cuz I have checked the first two boxes in my early

  • twenties.

  • Anyway, as soon as you check the second box aka moving out of the parental home, you are

  • bound to ask yourself: How Often Should I Call my Parents?

  • Let's find out with people also ask!

  • Hi, I am Shao Chieh Lo, welcome to what people also ask, where I search for something seemingly

  • obvious and share with you some of its PAA, aka People Also Ask, which is a feature telling

  • you what other people are searching on Google that relates to your query.

  • Today's query is How Often Should You Call Your Parents, we will talk about some statistics

  • about how often American young adults calling their parents, how much parent calling is

  • too much, and some advice on what to talk to your parents about.

  • So let's start with our first PAA How often should adults call their parents?

  • Google's auto-generated answer is linked to an article titledGood Question: How

  • Often Do We Talk To Our Parents?” published by CBS Minnesota which is an affiliate of

  • the CBS network focusing its original news coverage on local issues.

  • According to this article, CBS News found 24 percent of adult children thought they

  • should call their mothers at least once a day.

  • Another 24 percent thought they should call a few times a week, while 35 percent answered

  • once a week.

  • And 12 percent deemed once a month or less is appropriate.

  • And 33 percent of Mothers with children under the age of 18 thought adults should call their

  • mothers at least once a day.

  • But there are also generational differences because only 14 percent of Baby Boomers reported

  • calling their parents once a day.

  • This article also mentioned another very interesting article published on AARP aka the American

  • Association of Retired People.

  • This article argues that most cultures have maintained closeness between parents and children,

  • so the baby boomers in America is actually the odd generation that overemphasizes independence.

  • Very interesting article, I will put the link in the description.

  • So chances are that you are watching this video because you are worrying that you are

  • not calling your parents enough so you are being a terrible child.

  • And something like that.

  • But some of you, might actually be worrying about the opposite-like do I call my parents

  • too much?

  • So let's talk about our next PAA: Is it normal to call your parents every day?

  • Google's auto-generated answer is linked to an article titled “11 Signs You Should

  • Talk To Your Parents Lesspublished by bustle.com which is an online magazine founded

  • in 2013 targeting young millennial women.

  • So what are those 11 signs?

  • I encourage you to read the whole article to find out, but to sum up, basically if:

  • Either party is too dependent.

  • Like you are asking your Mom what to get for dinner every day.

  • Either party is too controlling.

  • Like you don't think your Dad can take care of himself so you call him three times a day

  • to make sure he is still alive.

  • Your relationship with your parents involves a lot of Money borrowing, no need to explain

  • for that one.

  • The conversation always turns into an argument.

  • In this case, you probably want to analyze if there is any issue in your relationship

  • with your parents and adjust accordingly.

  • So, in the scenarios listed above, you should probably call your parents less and, in some

  • cases, consider setting some boundaries.

  • While some people should consider speaking with their parents less, others may not speak

  • with their parents quite enough and so have no idea what to say when they do.So let's

  • talk about next PAA: What should I talk to my mom about?

  • Google's auto-generated answer is linked to an article titled “38 Interesting Questions

  • To Ask Your Mom Right Nowpublished by Huffington Post.

  • While this article specifically provides some fun questions you can ask your mom, most of

  • those questions can apply to your dad too.

  • Again, highly encourage you to read this article which I will put the link below, but some

  • of those fun questions are: How many serious relationships were you in before you settled

  • down (if you did)?

  • What were they like?

  • When did you lose your virginity and to whom?

  • Is there a moment or event that radically changed the way you saw the world?

  • Have you ever done something really impulsive?

  • How did it go?

  • What do you want your funeral to be like?

  • What was life like for you at my age?

  • Again, highly encourage you to read this article, so just do it now.

  • Today we learned how frequently Americans believe they should call their parents based

  • on surveys.

  • When you should probably call your parents less.

  • And some questions you can ask your parents as conversation starters.

  • If you made it to the end of the video, chances are that you enjoy learning what people also

  • ask on Google.

  • But let's face it, reading PAA yourself will be a pain.

  • So here's the deal, I will do the reading for you and upload a video compiling some

  • fun PAAs once a week, all you have to do is to hit the subscribe button and the bell icon

  • so you won't miss any PAA report that I compile.

  • So just do it right now.

  • Bye!
