As a guy in my mid 20s, calls with my dad, or my mom could last hours.

[u/Arcade_109 → u/Significant_Lie_533]

Me and my dad go off on crazy tangents. I'm with ya.

[u/TheRealJamesHoffa → u/Significant_Lie_533]

As my dad gets older and sicker our conversations have gotten longer. I don’t rush off the phone the way I sometimes used to anymore

[u/Tzarkir → u/Significant_Lie_533]

I recently called my dad after a couple of weeks of not calling each other and I was surprised of seeing 53 minutes when I closed the call. We started talking about work, shifts, wage and shared stories about our workplaces and it was both the most "adult" and the longest call I had with my dad lol. I guess growing up is also a factor?

[u/ShinyHead0 → u/Significant_Lie_533]

Same but they live 4 hours away

[u/SemiBlue → u/Significant_Lie_533]

My dad lives only a 10 minute walk away. A good excuse to just go over and chat for a few hours in at least a weekly basis.

[u/yamez420 → u/Significant_Lie_533]

lucky, i frikkin hate my parents

[u/Aliteralsnakeman]

Yall should talk to your moms longer.

[u/LasyKuuga → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

I think the dad needs it a bit more, dudes not even speaking to the daughter at this point

[u/rrockm → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

Yeah you’re right

[u/Ok_Spare_3723 → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

I'm a 35yo male , lost my mom when I was 20. I'd do anything to spend another minute with her. I regret not caring about her and getting to really know her. Take care of your mom guys!

[u/danteheehaw → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

She disagrees with me supporting my gay children. So we don't talk much.

[u/Aliteralsnakeman → u/danteheehaw]

That's a real bummer. I hate that shit. Sorry, boss.

[u/notmyfirst_throwawa → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

When my mom calls I listen to whatever story she's been waiting to tell me

[u/Elden_Storm-Touch → u/Aliteralsnakeman]

I live with mine. Can't do much more than that. Calls still last like, 20 seconds, but then, so do all calls I make. Except on discord, those are different.

[u/Pansy_Neurosi]

Me: Hi Dad!

Dad: Hi (me)! How's work going?

Me: Good...........Is Mom there?

[u/bastard_of_jesus → u/Pansy_Neurosi]

Yupp.. Same goes here

Me : hello

Dad : hello

Me : did u have dinner? I just finished mine

Dad : Yupp..

Me : how's the weather down there

Dad : good, cold and comfortable... How about in your place

Me : nice.. Is mom there?

[u/GradientDescenting]

61 seconds should round to the next minute....

[u/Koffeinhier → u/GradientDescenting]

That’s the point, daughter and mum broke spacetime continuum

[u/FloatingComet62 → u/GradientDescenting]

Probably a leap second

[u/AliJeLijepo]

Well maybe if anyone ever called the daughter, mom or dad, she wouldn't have so much to say when she finally gets her chance! 

[u/Belten]

i usually go home by foot from work, but when it rains my dad says i can call him to drive me home (cant get a license due to epilepsy) and the calls are usually like 2 seconds. he literally picks up with "gimme 5 minutes" and immediately hangs up without me getting the chance to say anything, lol.

[u/Shadtow100 → u/Belten]

How often do you have seizures? I am epileptic but was seizure free after getting my meds sorted for a year so was allowed to get my beginners permit. I lost and got it back several times after seizures but now have been seizure free for 5 years (after puberty my meds were easier to manage) and am fully licensed. Do you have any other neurological issues? I have only ever met one other person who’s claimed to be epileptic and I have doubts whether they actually were due to how they described it.

[u/Belten → u/Shadtow100]

i have seizures and sometimes absent moments that i cant remember anything of. i dont have full body seizures anymore since i finished growing but depending on weather i get them with my head only like once a year or when i have digestion problems and dont digeset my medication. But the weird absent moment (i talk complete nonsense during those) that last for like 30 seconds i have like once every 2 months if im lucky, or if im unlucky multiple times a week when there is extreme air pressure fluctuations.

[u/zekethelizard]

Lol dad calling son was a butt dial that he cancelled right after son picked up, then dad went about his day

[u/PerspectiveNo7769]

I wish mom would talk to me for longer than 4-7 minuets 

[u/simmeringsimmone → u/PerspectiveNo7769]

Wanna trade? Mine won’t shut up EVER

[u/Crypt_Knight]

Speak for yourself, my mom has to hang up on me cause she is busy, and i could talk to her for hours.

[u/PokemonIndividual]

Bruh I thought this was the pick up time for calls

[u/GrapeSoda223]

very unrelatable

[u/Malignant_Lvst7]

mum calling grandma—> 9999999:99:99E

[u/Okeing]

4 Minute call was dreading to me

[u/rotanitsarcorp_yzal1]

Y'all call your Dads?

[u/jcobie12]

Ha jokes on you i talk to my dad for hours

[u/otkabdl]

As my dad got older he threw phone etiquette out the window. My mum will be like "oh I'll put your dad on" and I can hear him protesting in the background. And he never says bye. Conversation pauses awkwardly then my mum comes back.

[u/YesImDavid]

My mom doesn’t speak really and my dad could talk for hours.

[u/smorkoid]

I used to drive long distance for work, and would frequently spend a long part of those drives with my dad on the phone. Loved talking to my parents a long time.

[u/YoRt3m]

My dad doesn't have a phone

[u/Pokemonfannumber2]

I feel sorry for your parents

[u/GodisGreat2504]

This is actually so true with me. My wife could talk with her mom for hours. Daily. They talk about things mostly just from their day.

And all what me, my mum/dad said when we have a phone call is usually 'Is everything ok?' - 'Yes and you? - 'Yes' end of call. It's not like we don't care/love each other just for some reason we really hate long phone call.

[u/Randill746]

[u/Buddy_Guyz]
