I know I may regret it one day, but I don’t have the energy for all her daily calls, which are basically her asking me 50 questions.
I don’t talk to my own grown children on a daily basis like she calls me. I have reached the point that I dread it and at times ignore her calls.
She’s a very sweet woman, but she is stressing me out! Is it me or her? Please help me so I don’t ruin this relationship. As an only child, am I being selfish? -- INUNDATED IN THE SOUTH After three years, it is not selfish to create boundaries with her. Tell her you will speak to her once a day. Then screen your calls and talk with your mom when you aren’t stressed and have a few minutes to spend in conversation.DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have visits from family several times a year. I don’t cook, at least not a lot -- just simple meals for my husband and me. We are 72 and 69.
