[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well let’s break down how I feel about my mom. I love my mom first of all but I notice since she retired she is been so intense in her communication or maybe I didn’t know before because she was sways busy . She is a very smart women And work all her life as an engineer. Recently, I notice she is self observed and every time I tell her an anecdote about me and my new baby she starts talking about her ex-coworker babies that are similar age to my baby. 
At the beginning I was like okay mom cool when she talks about her two ex coworkers ther had babies too during the same time as me. 
But now it’s getting annoying . For example , today I called her to tell her my baby is smiling and laughing and doing more tummy time . Then she processed to talk  about  this people that I don’t know and most of the conversation was about them . For a second I was like how can she not listen to my stories but I had to listen to Hers. I wonder if she is just so self center because she was a boss before and everybody listen and love her .or she is just old and cel centered . I know she is not narcissistic because she loves me and my baby but the audacity to always talk about others ppl that I don’t know instead of listening to me really frustrated me. 
I wanted to ask my sister if they feel like me but then i feel I will start a drama . What do you think I should do ?

Your mother is neurodivergent and is trying to engage and relate to you and your child's life.
It is very uncommon for women of your mothers age to be engineers and responding to a story with a similar story is a hallmark adhd/autism sign.

Try to understand your mother and who she is. She is clearly trying to understand and relate to you.

If you truly can't stand it tell her point blank what upsets and why- in the moment. I'm not saying she will be able to reflect in the moment and change and definitely not saying that she should. But if you are trying to drop hints, she is not going to pick up on them.
