I was 24, told my dad (who I was living with at the time) I was staying at a friend's house. He contacted everyone, except for aforementioned friend. My phone died in the middle of the night. When I got home in the AM and charged my phone I had 13 missed calls and boatloads of texts and IMs from many different people, some of whom I hadn't talked to in over a year asking if I was okay and that my dad was looking for me. The second to last voicemail I had was from my dad, saying if he didn't hear from me within 24 hours he was calling the police and putting out a missing persons. The last one was my job asking me if I was coming in because apparently my dad had been looking for me.
I went to a university halfway across the U.S. from my family at 18 and then moved to Japan at 22. My parents don’t start to worry unless I haven’t messaged back in more than 48 hours...
One time (when I was 18) I was taking a nap and my mom couldn't see me in my bed or something? (It was a top bunk and I had a lot of pillows, I really don't know) so she called all of my friends asking if I were with them. I woke up to so many missed calls and texts. And she had the audacity to be mad at me when I finally woke up and went downstairs.

I can’t imagine such an intense mother...
