[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is like this too except for the money part (She and FIL never spend money on anything). She's nice and well meaning but never ever asks me about anything about me or my life. She talks to my husband about his stuff and then brings up neighbors, books, stuff they did and random news items that no one cares about. I attribute it to her not having anyone else to talk about (besides FIL) and being a socially awkward person. I stopped takin it seriously long ago. 
My mom is the complete opposite and grills me about everything, why we are having the tree guy over, why haven't I called the contractor, why don't I get more su, why to I work too much, why do I take sick leave, why am I taking vacation leave for a vacation that she doesn't think is worth it. And there are questions about everything which are hard to deflect and are met with annoyance if I don't want to share. But I love my mom too and that's the way se expresses her love. Everyone is different and your mom OP could have changed as many older people do and because you're further away she may feel less involved and less interested than in her exciting there and now.
