[quote=Anonymous]Long story short, I’m calling to check in on my mom twice a day. Of course she’s bored and scared like the rest of us, but like the rest of us, there isn’t anything to really talk about. I give my mom 15 minutes each call, but I’m finding that I’m starting to become annoyed and short with her during these calls. We rehash and rehash the latest Coronavirus news, it’s all she wants/there is to talk about. If I try to mention the kids, she brings it back to discussing the virus. Everything comes back to talking about dread and despair. I can’t keep doing this, but she won’t stop talking about it and I’m starting to resent these calls. (And yes, I do realize I’m lucky my mom is still around to talk about Covid-19 with me.) Any advice?[/quote]
