Most of us. (At least those of us in-town. You seem to be implying most out-of-towners don’t have Kibud Av V’Eim daily

Alas, I’ll admit that, in this respect, you’re a better person than me.

It is highly impractical for me to visit my father daily. So, I call him once a week. When we do speak, we spend about three minutes on the phone — but that’s simply because he’s not a talk-on-the-phone type of person. Never was – probably never will be. If I called him daily, he’d probably go mad and would not appreciate it (and would probably wonder what is wrong).

My mother, on the hand, is a different story. While she lives much closer to me than my father and it’s fairly easy to “pop over,” my schedule really precludes me from doing so on a daily basis (most days I get home fairly late). I do, however, call her somewhat often and visit her at least once a week, if not more often.
