[quote=Anonymous]Keep the calls short and cut back the frequency. Text her briefly on days you don't talk on the phone. Cut her short when she criticizes your parenting. Tell her she had her chance and now it's your turn to parent your way, and if she wants to hear the details of Junior's day then she has to "stop 'nagging,' to use your own term." If she's making you feel bad on the phone, cut the call short and hang up. In calmer moments, tell her that you are just not as "phone social" as she is and that's just the way you are. When she criticizes that she's not accepting who you are as a person. It's annoying that she's basically annoyed you aren't someone who wants to be on the phone all the time regurgitating the nitty gritty. How often does she talk to your brother? Is she all up in the details of his daily life as well?[/quote]
