[quote=Anonymous]Can't you be happy for her for 15 minutes and ooh & aah at some photos? I feel like this kind of attitude results in there being very few people you can celebrate life's joys with - thankfully my mom is still happy to hear about my career progress or my child's early milestone achievements, and I like to think that I'm a cheerful ear to listen to her successes as well. If your mom can't gush about a fun trip with you for 15 minutes, then who is she supposed to talk to about it and what do you want to hear about instead? If she's going to go on & on for hours, then I get your point. But if it's what she has to share when catching up with you after a few weeks off the grid, then what's the problem? Her ability to enjoy vacations at this point in life is not a personal slight against you as a mother of young children. [/quote]
