[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I didn’t mean how I’m doing in a literal sense. Mainly that my mother doesn’t inquire anything about me personally. We could talk every day and she’s know nothing about me because the conversation is always redirected if I offer any info about my life. [/quote]

I really thought maybe I wrote this… seriously. I’m in the exact same boat and simultaneously being guilted by my parents for not calling them. But any time I do, it’s completely one sided. She doesn’t even ask about my DC but goes on about my sister’s kids. I’m fairly certain my mom is a narcissist, which explains a lot.[/quote]

That thing about not asking about your kids but going on about nieces and nephews really hits home. Both my parents do it but I have raised it with them and I think my mom is trying to stop. My dad never will though. If I try to talk about my DC -- mention something she did recently or something she's learning, my parents will immediately relate a story about one of my sister's kids and end all conversation about my kid. It's pretty exhausting. I've mostly given up.[/quote]

I’m PP you quoted. This exactly. My niece and nephew do the same activity as my DC and we sit around watching videos of them doing their activity and no one even acknowledges my DC does the same activity. And DC is getting old enough to notice and it’s caused a lot of tears and hurt feelings. I just don’t get it. Fine, don’t be interested in me, but try harder with your grandchild.[/quote]

do you share any videos of your dd?  Or are you quiet?[/quote]
