[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I totally get where you are. My mom is incredibly difficult and has nothing to do. Constantly complains. When I mention something about my children she find some link in the story to change the conversation back to her complaints (for example, when I told her we were in Little League playoffs but my son's team was hampered bc the star player had pneumonia but I think he is going to play tomorrow anyway, she instantly told me a 10-minute story of how my cousin had pneumonia at his bar mitzvah but she still found it so rude that he didn't want to socialize with the relatives who had spent money to come to his event). I have had to switch my mindset so that I simply listen to her kvetch for an hour a week - without telling her she is being ridiculous - and without sharing anything about my own life. Because she really just wants to focus on her own sh*t. [/quote]
