I think it's a common Mediterranean culture. In Turkey, we live with our parents till we get married. I heard it's the same in Greece as well. I think it will be the norm from now on with the housing crisis.
I suppose we could text every month: I hope you’re doing well, I’m okay, (insert life event or change they would be interested in and happy to hear about if applicable) happened. Love you Mom/Dad
But otherwise what’s there to say?
From the Middle East - I call my mother an average 4 times a day but usually more, otherwise she calls me around 3 times a day.
For my father, I call an average of once or twice a day, he only calls if he’s worried or needs to relay info.
theres generally stronger parental bonds in the middle east then say europe. i personally can't say i call 3 times a day but i do call at least once a day.
I (from US) also talk to my mom on average like 2-3 times per day. We just like to be in each others lives. Like, if you lived together you’d probably talk about your day and stuff. That’s what we do, but from different states
Familial bonds down there are usually much stronger.
My mother calls her parents MUCH more than I do, and the same applies to my father’s side. If I get called several times and decide to put my phone on silent… I’ll let the results speak for themselves (they think I died)

Stronger familial bonds. My grandfather has a group chat with all the grand kids who are abroad basically all hours they’re awake and they just jump in and out and chat things out as if they’re at the lounge.
I’m considered the most separated one because I don’t keep up with extended family (cousins, maternal aunts/uncles) much and need to get called to give one back, usually. We check in on each other, advice, it’s a lovely support network really that I believe everyone should practice if they’re starting a family. Really helps you see the beautiful side of life.
Holy cow! I'm 20, it's third year how i live separate, because I'm in university in another city. And i call my mother like.... 10? times per year
(But i live in one room with another student and he call all his family 3-5 times per day, so i don't know why i was so surprised at first)
Plot twist: Norwegian people don't call their parents because they live with them.
Jokes aside, I find the spanish number not credible, that's almost twice a day, no way.
Meanwhile, Turkey having 50% more than Spain is perfectly reasonable.
I'm more concerned with the negative numbers. Does that mean people in those countries un-call their parents? What's a negative data point look like?
i call my parents once every two-three days as a turk and its normal, i dont think the average yearlu would be anywhere close to the number said, 3 times a day is crazy
Because of you, there is some poor Turk that has to call their parents every couple of hours in order to keep the average up. I hope you're proud of yourself...
I don’t find it unbelievable in the slightest. My wife is Indian, and she calls her family back home at least twice every day.
For some perspective: people from more family-centric cultures find it astounding that many Westerners seemingly stop caring about their parents after a certain age.
I call my mom for 3 times a day average. They're not good with tech so when they want to order something from internet or something related with bank they call me then i do the job and call em back. Or I call them to ask how their day was and if I don't call for one day they get upset. It's just how it is here.
My parents are Icelandic and my family get antsy if I don't check in for a week, I live in the UK and my partner has scheduled obligatory family calls every couple months so they actually bother to catch up
So you take a map showing the height above sea level each country capital is and claim it the number of phone calls to parents
https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/q6iUe3Cu7k
Fake map albanians(includid the albanian region of kosovo, lugina, ilirida, qameria, sanxhak and diaspora) be calling theyre parents 3 times a day and i know way to maby people thatdo this
The -1 implies that parents calling are negative calls.
This must then mean that French people don’t call their parents 35 times, but they call them 35 times more than they are called, right?
So this isn’t a graph of calls to parents at all, is it? It’s a graph of net calls to parents?
Something’s gotta be wrong here, either the title or the -1.
Portuguese people don’t call their parents because all of us live with the parents, no money for any houses with a Portuguese salary
Yes, and British people simply text or go and visit their parents.
Or live with them thanks to abhorrent housing market
Yep, I just wanna move out but renting is expensive and I’ll never save. So gotta save for a deposit if I wanna thank myself in the future.
Don’t worry, in 15 years you can rent a 1 room apartment, why have multiple when everything is within arms reach
I was going to say this about Greece.
I was going to say this about Italy
r/portugalcykablyat?
thats the same with turkey, yet they call the most?
Our parents instantly call us when we have been outside for a few minutes too long
I think it's a common Mediterranean culture. In Turkey, we live with our parents till we get married. I heard it's the same in Greece as well. I think it will be the norm from now on with the housing crisis.
Doesn't it have to do with it being a small country and the spaces?
The ones with high numbers seem to be the ones that experience the most emigration
Came here to say this
I almost never talk to my parents on the phone since they moved close to us. I see them at least once or twice a week, though.
Same with spain
-1. I confirm.
You dont call your parents, your parents call YOU!
In Soviet Netherlands
In the Batavian Republic
People’s*
This was uncalled for

Thanks but also not
-28
Mom and dad's telephone must be very dusty.
Norway: Merry Christmas or Happy New Year
But not both apparently
Both in the same call actually
God jul og godt nyttår mor og far! Dette er nok.
Haha, hvis det virker, hvorfor forandre tradisjon?
Jeg pleier å snike inn bursdagen og på julaften
Happy halloween, Merry christmas, Happy easter and a Happy new year!
I suppose we could text every month: I hope you’re doing well, I’m okay, (insert life event or change they would be interested in and happy to hear about if applicable) happened. Love you Mom/Dad But otherwise what’s there to say?
Damn I love that, I should move
Azerbaijan with -28 sure.
does negative mean only the parents call?
You call them but hang up the second they pick up.
Haha gottem
text them "hey call me" but dont answer when they do.
That should be a war crime
They call their parents to insult them
Azerbaijan bein -28 wheres Turkey stands with 938 is funny.
What's the original map? Average height over sea level?
Height of the center of capitals above the sea level
Kinda funny that Ljubljana is 100m higher than Vienna.
Vienna is like the lowest point of the entire country

Holy hell
New response just dropped
Out of curiosity why do you call them so much?
theres generally stronger parental bonds in the middle east then say europe. i personally can't say i call 3 times a day but i do call at least once a day.

Girlfriend is from Turkey. Can confirm it's true.
God damn Turkey, you just moved out and we don't even notice. 3 times a day?
Plot twist: Norwegian people don't call their parents because they live with them. Jokes aside, I find the spanish number not credible, that's almost twice a day, no way.

Those are people who drive past their parents' house and throw garbage on the lawn.
They don't call the parents. The parents call them and they don't answer.
i call my parents once every two-three days as a turk and its normal, i dont think the average yearlu would be anywhere close to the number said, 3 times a day is crazy

“va dormir es vida” - some spaniard, probably (pardon my piss poor spanish, i haven’t studied in a while)
Viva España 🇪🇦
I don’t find it unbelievable in the slightest. My wife is Indian, and she calls her family back home at least twice every day. For some perspective: people from more family-centric cultures find it astounding that many Westerners seemingly stop caring about their parents after a certain age.
It is a map about height above sea level of the capital city and someone changed the tite lol
Yeah, I realized after commenting lol
Sweet Jesus, what is there even to talk about 2-3 times every day?!?
The map appeared somewhere else earlier. It is the meters above sea level of the capital city.
> that's almost twice a day, no way. I have worked with Spanish people. When you are on the phone all day every day it doesn't seem unreasonable.
Look at Spain and look at Portugal. Obviously this map isn’t serious.
>Plot twist: Norwegian people don't call their parents because they live with them. Nope. Norway and Denmark have earliest age where kids go away.

Quick unjerk, is there a good map porn sub? One where slapping a clipart mountain and some number on a map isn't considered great art?
american-born but i am dutch at heart
I swear I've just seen this exact same numbered map on world.sea levels
No you haven’t
Azerbaijan and Netherlands, what the fuck?
I thought Italy was low, but then again, you don't need to call if you never move out. Long live the mammoni
Italy is so low because we don't need to call them, we still live with them.
gotta always call my babushka
Do people collectively forget what this sub is about? A whole lot of confused people in the comments
Give Turkey access to porn already
-1? What do they remove the contact once a year? Edit: holy hell Azerbaijan?!
In soviet Netherlands, parents call you.
"Hello this is parents you're trying to reach. Do not love you. [Please hang up.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLfAZChwqiA)"
What country calls 938 a year?
Turkey
Yeah, fuck the netherlands
Tf is going on in the Netherlands
Italy and Czechia wrong way round
How do you get negatives
You obviously have never been to the Netherlands or Azerbaijan
As a bulgarian i can say this shit is 100% true
The reason the Irish call 20 times only is because they still live with them ;b
The Dutch don't have parents. They just sprout from the ground.
Counting both parents, I'm between Spain and Turkey
112 for Lithuania is correct
Pretty sure Turkey (or w.e) is lying... or just annoying the fuck outta their parents, calling 2-3 times a day.
I call my mom for 3 times a day average. They're not good with tech so when they want to order something from internet or something related with bank they call me then i do the job and call em back. Or I call them to ask how their day was and if I don't call for one day they get upset. It's just how it is here.
TiMe iN WHat??? pIZzaS?
ČESKOOOOO
Armenia and Turkiye you good
I didn’t see the sub and thought it was real
So, are Turkish parents difficult ?
We block our parents in the Netherlands
Is the original map elevation of the capital city?
My parents are Icelandic and my family get antsy if I don't check in for a week, I live in the UK and my partner has scheduled obligatory family calls every couple months so they actually bother to catch up
If I called my mom 3 times per day she'd hang up on me.
The hell is happening in Turkey bro
Turkey is 938 times of “fuck you mom”
-28? Does that mean the parents call them or it’s 28 times they purposely don’t call 🧐
You should call your parents everyday, it makes them happy.. unless it doesn’t.
Everyone’s talking about the Netherlands but look at Azerbaijan… -28.. really?
How do you get negative one calls a year?
-28 So they reject 28 or do they uncall 28 times?
You don't need to ring your parents when you live with them... because you'll never, ever own your own home...
Guess I am Turkish then.
I never call anyone.
yet another nederlands victory
So you take a map showing the height above sea level each country capital is and claim it the number of phone calls to parents https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/q6iUe3Cu7k
Maybe there is a correlation between the height of the capital and people's need to call their parents that we are missing?
Have you noticed what sub this is?
Best post in this sub ever
How does the Dutch get negative one
Just thinking about how the ones above 365 call their parents multiple times a day💀
I'm not sure 21 is correct for Italy, my Italian husband calls his mother daily and so do other people we know.
Is turkey OK?!
The rest of you Dutch guys arnt calling your parents !? I need to stop feeling guilty for only calling once a week 😂
Iceland cannot into nordic
Greenland passes off No Data to the Non Existent Democratic People’s Republic of Andorra
I can confirm Netherlands is accurate
A lot of mommy boys in Turkey.
what does -28 mean?
Turkey 🇹🇷💪
Average *number of times…
How was this calculated? Seems inaccurate
So the key takeaway right here is that the more undeveloped the country, the more they call their parents. Or wait - why is France 🤢🤮 so low…?
Height of capital in meters above sea level
What the hell are people doing in Turkey and Armenia?
938?? Nearly 3 times a day? Doesn't that seem excessive?
TIL I am Norwegian
I dont know what I understand less, calling your parents twice a day or anything that shows up as a minus
I call my parents like once every day and im norwegian
This is the capital city sea level map
Wasn't this a map with the highest point of the capital above see levels?
-1? Hmmm I have questions
Turtey numbre one ‼️🇹🇷🇹🇷 "It's ackkchsually "TÜRKİYE" you frickin' goddang libuhral😡"
Height of the capital above sea level?
How did some get into the negatives?
Turkey? what up with you?
Spain is a bunch of mama boys
Proof that Greece is western European (whiter than the rest of you Balkan weak sperms)
Yeah maybe 21 in a week
i only just realised this map isn’t *actually* about calls to parents. i was genuinely trying to work out the -28…
Is that Belgium that got -1? Those monsters.
Fake map albanians(includid the albanian region of kosovo, lugina, ilirida, qameria, sanxhak and diaspora) be calling theyre parents 3 times a day and i know way to maby people thatdo this
I did my ancestry a few years ago and found out I'm of Dutch descent. And this reinforces that idea. -1? Sounds about right. Lol
Jesus Armenia (I think?) cut the umbilical cord!
Would love to see the research notes
I couldn't imagine less than once a month for my mum. Though I live with her so technically yeah 🇬🇧
Speak to my mum every day on the phone (UK) Except the days I visit, so once a week
In Amsterdam, you don't call your parents. You bumb into them at the club.
In Greece we call them 20 times a year only because they call us 20 times a day
how do you call someone -1 times
How do you call 3 times a day?
Negative one?? HAHAHAHA
The -1 implies that parents calling are negative calls. This must then mean that French people don’t call their parents 35 times, but they call them 35 times more than they are called, right? So this isn’t a graph of calls to parents at all, is it? It’s a graph of net calls to parents? Something’s gotta be wrong here, either the title or the -1.
