Oh yes, mother hen. Every time my grown kids need something, I hear from them. Finally told them to fix it themselves, because it ends up costing me money!
My Dad had an interesting take on "children getting in touch with you."
He had a dozen siblings, and due to his father's premature death, he became the man of the family- he always said, "As long as I never heard from them, I knew they were doing OK. It was only when they got in a jam I'd hear something from them."
