[quote=Anonymous]You should tell off your mother, OP. She's WAY out of bounds. My mother comes from a family where people "visited" each other and one was supposed to sit politely in the drawing room, balancing a cup of tea and slice of cake, making conversation. How my introverted father endured it, I don't know. ***Times are different now***. My husband (whom my parents did not like at first!) has a good relationship with my parents, but only because they're NOT pushy, and let him weave in and out of the conversation. No one expects him to sit and show his face and make small talk. Likewise, it would be torture for me to do that with his mother. We get along great, but I still wouldn't stay for an entire call or Facetime! I occasionally chime in when my husband calls her, and she's perfectly fine with that. Your mother has to drag herself into the 21st century and accept that mores have changed. [/quote]
