[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op- are you feeling smothered and suffocated by these moments of affection?

I have a mom that's the same and feel like I can't breathe. My DS is 10mo (first grandchild) and it's honestly given her more shit to communicate about. (Wants details from every doctors appt, picture every day etc). So don't hold out too much hope for first grandchild changing things.

It has resulted in less random Easter junk bought for me and more of it heaped on him. So the junk is in my house every holiday times all grandparents. However the stuff I don't mind it's the constant contact that is tiresome.[/quote]

This is my life. The addition of a first grandchild and a new iPhone has made it hard to get a day off from my mother. I wish she never learned to use a cell and stuck with her landline. It's, never, enough.

To OP-- For a long time, while I was single in my own apartment and early years of marriage my mother would act as if I was camping in the outback or playing house, as if my life on my own wasn't real and she had to drop in with supplies until I was ready to come back home to my real life. It became quite irritating but thankfully, it's stopped more or less. [/quote]
