[quote=Anonymous]Is she apologizing for this rudeness (making people wait for you for two hours is rude) or are you expected to just roll with it when she makes herself available again? I certainly wouldn’t do this sort of visit again. If your mom starts complaining about how much she misses the grandkids after the visit, I would take the opportunity to say (kindly) “mom I hear what you’re saying, but while you were here it seemed work was taking a lot of your time that could have been with them.” Next time you’re planning a visit set expectations at the outset— ask whether she’s planning to work and decide if it’s worth it to you. I like the idea of just inviting on vacations so if she does decide she wants to spend the week with her laptop, you and your kids and your dad still build memories. [/quote]
