[quote=Anonymous][quote]P, just like with our children (or anyone, really) you listen nicely not because it's interesting but because doing so is an investment in your relationship. This is what I remind myself when my kids or parents or friends are droning on about something I don't really care about. And it's what they do when I'm going on about something dear to me. [/quote] NP and +1 I've come to realize that at this stage off her life, my mother is very focused on her own life. That's just how she is--she doesn't ask much about me, she doesn't remember things about my life, etc. But a core value of mine is to be a caring and supportive child as she begins to be less independent in her life, so I continue to phone and meet up with her even though it at time frustrates me. Being value-directed in my actions has made those frustrations more manageable.[/quote]
