[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I FaceTime my parents everyday. I work and have 3 kids. I do outsource cleaning and baby sitting when I am working. I love speaking to my parents (I miss them and they are amazing). I know it’s important to them and [b]they love to hear about my life and grandkids[/b]. 
They don’t get to see the grandkids every day unless I FaceTime on my way to school drop off. 
You can make time for a 5 min FaceTime [/quote]

This might be the disconnect from your perspective and OP’s. A lot of these emotional vampire/FaceTime tantrum grandmothers don’t actually care about their daughters’ lives or their grandchildren. They are focused on how they make them feel and the attention that they feel they deserve for being a grandparent. I’m saying it harshly only because I have on of those moms and she has verbally berated me, said nasty things behind my back to my child, etc. when I wouldn’t let “just 5 minutes” become “90 minutes at the time and in the manner of my choosing.”[/quote]

Yep. For mothers day every year my mom sends me something for my kids. Same for my birthday. Calls to kids are about achievements. Kids can’t see it yet but I can and it’s exhausting. We call occasionally but I’m not holding myself to her schedule and then getting berated if I miss a call. [/quote]
