[quote=Anonymous]I think some of you have no idea what this is like. My mil is like this. She is never present in the moment. She plays Words With Friends while her grandkids beg her to play with them. When she's home, lonely and alone (she's a widow), she is always trying to Face Time my kids. She's also a compulsive shopper and hoarder. I've realizedthat she is detached from life and doesn't know how to engage. Apparently she's always been like this. It's very frustrating to hear her push her visits and then ignore everyone during her visits, but I've accepted this is who she is. We just enforce no screen time at the table or in the bath, as she's walked out of watching toddlers in the tub to text people. [/quote]
