College

Before college, my relationship with my mom was a bit stronger. Once college started, my dad and I have grown a little closer, being that he now knows that I am responsible on my own. I would have to say that the reason the relationship between my mom and me grew farther apart would be because of lack of communication. College has taken up a lot of my time, so I do not always remember to call my mom every night. Back in high school, I would see my mom everyday, and we would always eat dinner together, and we would talk about my day. Since school takes away the opportunity to eat dinner with her, she is not as in touch with me as she would like to be. My dad is a little better with technology than my mom, so it is easier to keep in touch with him than it is for my mom.
When my parents were in school, I think that they were going through the same thing. Back then, the technology was not as good, so therefore; it was probably a bit more difficult to keep in touch. Both of my parents were also farther traveling distance away from their parents that I am to them. So, if they wanted to see their parents, it took more effort to get to them. My mom only had her mother for her in college, so she kept in touch with her more than my dad did with his mom.
