[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused. She socializes with the guests and she want to be dropped off to shop. Which part is she difficult to be around? It seems as if you are wanting her to make you and the kids the center if her attention. Which I understand, but she doesn’t sound difficult to be around at all. [/quote] This. She is not the grandmother you want her to be, but she doesn't sound difficult to be around. My mother also makes small talk with random strangers. In her case I think it's because she doesn't have any social outlet, which is not that uncommon at her age (early 80s). My mom also doesn't ask about our lives and shows only a passing interest in her grandchildren (has never come to their school or sport events), but she is also unpleasant to be around, quick to anger, no filter, very negative, so we limit visits. I'm not even sure how much we'd visit if we didn't want to see my father and other relatives. [/quote]
