[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP sorry I have taken so long to get back to everyone I have been busy with work lately. To answer some of the questions I would say I initiate the phone calls probably about 80% of the time.

How the conversation went down was my son brought up that he is excited to finally have a vacation with DIL because they both have been stressed at work and really need a vacation. DIL responded by saying yes we are going screen free and I can't wait to not have to answer to anyone and just spend time being 100% focused on each other and the relationship. Son didn't say anything back and the conversation just shifted to the latest sports game on TV.[/quote]

So you have been obsessing about one side comment about going screen free and needing a break from work? You really need other friends and hobbies.  You are making a mountain out of a molehill and being overly sensitive to a comment that wasn’t even directed at you.  [/quote]

OP posted one thing ASKING if what was happening is reasonable, one reply shortly thereafter and then a week later came back to this post to give an update.  Doesn't sound like obsessing to me.[/quote]

The fact that she [b]took the time to come to a public forum to post[/b] about not being able to talk to her adult son for 2 weeks on a vacation with his wife sounds a little telling to me. She wasn't just asking she was going on about how she can't handle 2 weeks of no contact. DIL made one passing statement about their vacation plans and OP thought hard enough about it to take the time to make a post about it. That's obsessing and shows an unhealthy enmeshment with her adult son.[/quote]

What is the threshold on something worth posting about?  Because I see an awful lot of much more small potatoes things, even on this forum.[/quote]
