Oh my gosh, so many of us have the same mom. I love my mom, really, but the phone conversations are ridiculously one-sided.

Same here. I don’t even bother

Another "me too" here. Thank god my sister and I can complain about her together but it's really unbelievable. Every conversation is the same - let mom ramble on about her life forever and then she maybe asks about the grandkids, and then the conversation is over without a single "how are you?". It's nuts. I vow to never treat my own daughters this way.

My mom might ask, though she never listens. Then she will use what she heard to turn it against me. FIL does the same, so no thanks.

Yup. My mom has never shown much interest in getting to know me. It dawned on me a few years ago that she probably could not say 5 things about me that weren’t printed on my drivers license. She’s a really good grandmother so I try to give her some grace and accept our relationship for what it is.
