[quote=Anonymous]Hey there “Mother NEVER Calls Me”, what have you decided? I’m curious because I’m in that same situation now. My mother and I haven’t spoken in four months. Today is my birthday and I thought for sure she would call me today, on my birthday. Nope, she sent me a birthday card last week with a typed note enclosed stating that she raised me for 18 years and the very least I could do is be the one to ALWAYS initiate the phone calls! She has my two younger sisters trained like that, but I refuse to play those games. I feel that it’s a two way street. Four months ago she texted me stating she noticed we had not spoken to each other in a few weeks. Okay, so why didn’t she just pick up the phone and call? She’s not incapacitated. My three of our four daughters are out of the house now, our youngest is in high school. I would never, never expect my children to initiate every phone call. If I want to talk or vise versa, we pick up the phone and call. I don’t want the added pressure of keeping up with having to be the one who always has to call. And I told my sister (she called me today to say happy bday) that our mother is nuts if she expects me to call her on my birthday so she can wish me happy bday! That’s insane.

Okay, back to my question: a few months have passed since you originally posted here. What did you decide??[/quote]
