[quote=Anonymous]PP and I’m going over to my mom’s house for a visit. My mom is one who considers it rude to read a magazine, watch tv or do anything except pay rapt attention to her while she puts on a performance. Today, she will show me pictures of a family event that I missed and read from her handwritten list of topics she deems essential-all about people I either do t know/never met or random relatives overseas, most I’ve met once. I’m dreading this and will literally set a timer and proclaim that I must leave by x time to arrive back at home for…something. Can’t say that it’s for my DC, home from college because armed w/ this info, Mom will demand this DC visit. Hate that I have to be circumspect and vague to manage her expectations. Mom will ne away for Thanksgiving with other family members and she’s already whining that if I do not visit her today, o will not see her until December. [/quote]
