[quote=Anonymous]My mother is addicted to games too, but not to the point where she ignores other people. So I understand, but am not faced with your extreme. She's just always on her iPad and frequently says, "what?" after having her nose buried in it.

It's annoying but you have to accept it. There are no magic words to make people change. She's addicted to the game and to her friend. For awhile there, it seemed like she was addicted to skyping with your kids, but she moved on. It's her personality to consume things and move on. Eventually the friend will be replaced by something else.

My advice is for you to insert yourself into her ways. Play the game with her. Make it a family time for your kids and you to play words with her at night. Reach out to this friend and get to know her. Send her pics of the kids so when she talks to your mom, they are at least talking about your kids.

Rather than your mom making the effort to be in your life, you make sure her life includes you. Learn to adapt.[/quote]
