[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are calling too much.  It is unreasonable to expect to talk to your adult son during his vacation with his wife.  Talking once a week to an adult child is more normal—maybe 2-3 times a week.  The frequency you mention is more normal for middle aged kids with elderly parents where the kids want to make sure mom has not fallen down and feels bad she is bored and has no life.  It’s nice you have a close relationship with your son.  Maybe call him during the work day so  you’re not stealing time from his wife?[/quote]

I'm 60 years old and I work and I'm completely able bodied. I just don't like the idea of going from 100 to zero of talking to my son just about everyday to going 2 weeks. He will alone with his wife alone everyday for 2 weeks. Surely me calling my son for 5-10 minutes out of the 24 hours in a day can't interfere that much with his time with his wife.[/quote]

You need to let go.  This may be her excerting dominance but  bothering your son on vacation with his wife is not healthy.  Your son needs to establish boundaries.i[/quote]
