I think most people experience encounters with relatives in this way. There is rarely anything new to talk about since their daily life has been mostly stagnant since you were born. Yet the bond of blood forces of us to engage in these 'pleasantries'...

Personally I only talk to my mom over the phone to set up a birthday dinner for my siblings. So I roughly talk to her every quarter year. She wants more and I want less so its a nice compromise imo
