Would you feel like you were bother if you called your dad to speak to him and...

He says "You know you don't have to call me everyday, and you can call your mom more, I encourage you to".

There's an old poem called "The Fool's Prayer" where the author talks about this sort of thing.

"These hard well-meaning hands we thrust amid the heart-strings of a friend, these feet still in the mire go crushing blossoms without end...Lord, be merciful to me, a fool."

I think I would be hurt, too - but if you call him often and he doesn't usually say such things, I'd give him a pass, maybe change it up by calling my mother a little more and him a little less. I would at least ask him before I allowed it to damage our relationship.

And some people just don't like to talk on the phone, even to those they love.
