[quote=Anonymous]Op, you might approach it this way: what would feel to you, like the right amount of togetherness. Start there. If you had to schedule it and make it consistent. If you had to provide a reliable schedule. Some visiting. Some babysitting. But start with more visiting than babysitting.. Example: Sunday dinner at your house, every Sunday. The kid's sports practice on Wed afternoon. Meeting you for coffee on a certain morning. Whatever. Again, start with what would work for you on a consistent basis. PS, she needs a some time, occasionally, with just you. You are HER baby. Btw, your Mom may not be as sharp as she use to be. She might be a little embarrassed about this. Not hold conversations as well or maybe think she's not as interesting. But I'm sure you can guide the conversation on a level that works for the two of you. [/quote]
