[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should meet my mom.  She constantly complains about having to do weekly zoom calls with her siblings, one of whom has cancer.   I don't get it. Just do the call for 20-30 minutes and say you have to go.[/quote]

Here's what you might "not get"; the fact that 20-30 minutes might not be "enough." You can still be labeled as the bad guy even if you participate to the point that you are able to or feel comfortable. And it can still be not enough for some people. They expect you to participate according to THEIR concept of what is "right," and anything less is "wrong."

Ask me how I know.

And you know what? If your mom generally stays connected with her sibling who has cancer, and asks how they are, then the cancer status does not apply to the demand for weekly Zoom calls.

Not. Everybody. Likes. Zoom. Calls. I check in, one on one, with my best friends. But I rarely participate in the group Zooms, because I don't like the dynamic. Doesn't make me uncaring, or a bad friend, or whatever. I just don't like Zoom. Can you get that?
