[quote=Anonymous]OP, I relate to this completely. My mother is highly anxious and needs to be doing something all the time. Even when I fly across the country to come visit, she can’t sit still to chat and hang out. She is up and about in the kitchen, cleaning, doing something. My dad is also hard of hearing so I suspect she has this constant urge to take care of him. Is your mom like this all the time? I found I can usually get her to sit and chat if I call early in the morning before dad is awake and she has time to herself. Otherwise I keep the conversations brief. I am also usually handed off to my dad while my mom runs around in the background. Keep the calls brief but keep calling. My mom certainly tells me when it’s been weeks since I called even though she doesn’t sit to talk![/quote]
