[quote=Anonymous]Your mother has obvious issues. But I do relate to her request that you focus on the call when you are talking to her (she probably looks forward to that all week). I hate when people multitask when they are supposedly giving you their attention. It is obvious, and hurtful. But, you need to tell her ahead of time how much time you have for the call. Set a timer, and tell her sorry that you need to do X. As a mom, I think 45 minutes or one hour is not that much for two people to connect once a week (i.e., explain all of their news, especially if you have children). But regardless you are allowed to set boundaries. I think you should tell her in advance so she can prioritize her topics. [/quote]
