[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how is it going?  I’m having issues with my mom favoring my sister, and I found this thread.  My mom moved from the middle of the country to the west coast to be near my sister 9 years ago.  I’m here in DC.  Last weekend, my mom told me that she moved to be with my sister so she could help with grandkids.  I’m not sure what prompted her to share this with me, but it really upset me.  My sister is now 40.  She never had kids and I doubt she will.  I’m a couple years older, and also never had children for many reasons.  In any event, my mom makes dinner every weekend for my sister and BIL and does a ton of stuff for them (even picks up my BILs dry cleaning).  I would not want my mom to pick up my dry cleaning.  [b]However, my mother does nothing for me and the whole situation hurts my feelings.

[/b]Mom is in her late 70s.  She won’t change.  I call her regularly out of respect and I guess neediness.  I don’t want to cut her off, but maybe it’s time to stop calling her regularly.  Any advice?  [/quote]

She lives 3000 miles away.  What doesn't she do that hurts your feelings from there?  [/quote]
