[quote=Anonymous]When I read the initial post I actually wondered, "did I write this??"

What I don't understand is how my mother will complain that they haven't seen us in a year, yet seems completely uninterested in what we are doing. In the last year I got a new job, my kid graduated from HS, found a FT job and enrolled in CC, my other kid is a junior and looking at colleges...there's plenty to discuss, but they barely ask about us.

If I mention any news, my mother will greet it with the barest acknowledgement and end the topic immediately. Just yesterday I mentioned that DD and I started weightlifting and her response was "Hmph, well I hope you don't get hurt. Anyway, I went to Panera yesterday and my sandwich was terrible..." lol

I've pretty much stopped sharing info with them -- what's the point? Have they just forgotten how to have a conversation? Or did I never have a real conversation with them, and I'm just noticing it now?

Thankfully my in-laws aren't like this!
