Hi, Is it normally for a 27 year old single daughter to not want to talk with her mother on a regular basic? My daughter lives on her own for acouple of years now. And I still worry about her. Am I wrong to expect her to keep in contact with me at least once a week just to make sure she is OK?

Yeah it is normal for adult kids to not keep in contact with their mother.
How about if you call her more often would that work?

I would call her because she would never call me. Now she is mad at me and won't talk to me. Because I told her that I think that she need to keep in contact with me. She is single on her own and the world is a crazy place. I don't trust people out there. And she is so trustworthy. In January she met a guy on e-harmony and after two week she went away to his family cabin for the weekend with just him. And she think I am crazy because I wanted a number and where she was going. She is still going out with this guy which I did get to meet and he seem to be a nice guy. But I have only seen him 3 times. I told her that I wish we had a relationship like my best friend and her daughter. Which was I guess the wrong thing to say. That's what stated this last not talking. We started this talking once a week when she started collage to talk once a week on Sunday night.

My mom use to worry about me all the time.
I moved to Texas, had four kids, a bad marriage and all these years later she isn't as worried and I don't call her much.
Basically I don't think that your being worried should be reason for her to be mad at you.
She should be more considerate.

Don't push her to have time frames like once a week. Let her know that it does mean a lot when you do hear from her

Its normal hon. And I say this with all the love and support and respect I possibly can... but you raised her... you taught her... its time to cut the apron strings. She will come to you when she is ready.

When I first moved out of my moms house I was 23. And I was SO SO SO ready to be away from 'mommy' and 'on my own' so I didn't talk to my mom or visit for a good long while. Now however, at almost 25, I have a loving and frequently visiting relationship with her.

Give it time. It will all work out.

Good luck hon
