[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set expectations from the start of the call - 'mom, I've only got 30 minutes and then I need to go to [work, doctor, whatever] but I wanted to make sure to talk to you' and then when you've got five minutes left remind her. Treat her like a child: set expectations, give her a warning, hold firm. You're a good and kind person - use some of the kindness directed at your mom on YOURSELF too.[/quote] OP already said this does not work. It's a tough situation. [/quote]
