Thanks for your response. I got married 7 years ago and I have one brother who lives near them. My parents have been calling excessively ever since I got married. Before I was married, I lived on my own for a couple years and the phone calls were not excessive, once I got married it changed for some reason.
I'm sorry to hear that you are having similar problems. I have tried so many strategies to stop the excessive calling and I haven't succeeded. I started wondering if asking them to only call once a week or less was being rude. That is what led me here to find out if my request seems out of the ordinary. I personally don't think so, but my mom tells me her friends call their children every day, which makes me feel bad. I guess I am just wanting to take a mini survey to find out how often you all call your parents/ family members. Thanks for the help.
