See...my parents are essentially the opposite of helicopter parents. I've had zero financial assistance from them since graduating high school (worked full time through school), and they never cared at all what I did with my time or my money. But I do text with my mom every day, about really stupid stuff. I live 500 miles away and I like talking to my mom about the normal goofy stuff we talk about in person.
ETA -- I don't identify as a millenial, more like Gen X, though I'm on the cusp.
