[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an only to a single Mom and not the center of her universe. She was 'detached' in that she worked FT while I was a latch-key kid, and did a lot of stuff with friends while sending me to grandma's house. Examples: never did any trips/vacations with me but went on ski trips and Caribbean sailing trips with friends, sent me away to summer camp for 5 weeks every summer, I used to do weekend tournaments and she'd never come watch.  When I turned 18, I went away to college and never returned home.

[b]Now, when she visits my home, she's all over me - a real smother mother. She's always interrogating me with questions, watching me all the time for my reaction to things. When she meets one of my friends, the interrogation starts on her like she's trying to find out all about me from a 3rd party. I gave up Facebook because she stalks every comment that I make. It's exhausting.[/b] [/quote]

My mom has always done this and still does. My parents have been together for 35 years and I have an older sister. We attribute so much to family structure, but people are so different and everything is more dependent on individuals. [/quote]

Fine by me, but please LMK if you have ever found an antidote to the smother mother....[/quote]
