Hi guys, I am in my late 20s and just realized that I have only spoken to my parents a few times a year since 2016.
**The problem is, that my parents and I are not very good at…..having a chat. Every time we spoke on the phone, it’s always something like,**
>>“What have you been up to lately? What are you getting lunch/dinner later? Alright. Bye bye.”
We live in different continent with 10 hour time difference.
– What do I say when I call them just to let them know I do still care about them?
– Last time we spoke, they mentioned that they feel distanced from me. How do I NOT make them feel that way?
Tl;dr: How to maintain/improve relationship with my parents who are a continent away from me?

My dad has been calling his parents every Sunday since he left home pretty much. Maybe make it a routine thing to call your parents at a certain time each week and just have a brief chat about how your week has been, ask them what they’ve been up to as well, etc
