Calling and checking in or leaving little notes for kids definitely seems more like a motherly thing to do. My Dad would probably laugh at anyone who expected him to call and check in every time he runs some errands.
I guess that is true, if as you say, it is every time they do errands. I just thought this was a whole different situation. His son rarely visits, and he just arrived the previous night. Dad leaves when his son is asleep, but he had wanted a ride that morning. Dad leave to do errands, and is gone for four hours. It seems the natural thing to do to call and say you are done with errands and coming home to pick him up. JMO Even my DH would do that, and he is not a dad who calls the kids over every little thing either.
