is it just me?

sassyredd2010

so, i have been on my own for 5 yrs now {as far as living away from myparents house} and my mom still calls me like 20 times daily {no joke} if no phone call then i get flooded with emails from her daily. She helped alot with the twins in the beginning because it was so much and their dad wasnt in the pic {my FI stepped up and became the only dad they know and love to pieces}

well this absolutely drives me NUTS!!! if she calls and i dont answer right away or if i wait til i am settled to call her back its....didnt you see i called? or what are ya'll doin? and half the time she doesnt want anything just callin to be callin. Sometimes its WR but most of the time it isnt. if she calls and doesnt want anything she sounds all pitiful askin for the boys to call her back....ugh!!!

i understand its a mother thing but do i really need to talk to her that much &&& every freakin day?! i mean i am 29 with kids and a family of my own...am i wrong for feeling this way?

Girl, I am 32 and have been living on my own since I was 18 and my mom still calls a million times a day, and it's the same thing, if I don't answer the phone right away she has a fit.  Well, didn't you see that I called, I left a message but you didn't call me back.  I'm like, I haven't had a chance to.  I'm at work or just living my life. Geesh!  But you know what.  I kinda like it.  Shh, don't tell her.  I complain, but I know that she just wants to stay connected to me and I think it's the same thing with your mom.  We are both so fortunate to have mothers that care so much about us, but I know what you mean, sometimes it seems like it's just too much, my goodness!  I just think that our moms feel somewhat discconected from us, and like with you having kids she wants to be in her grandkids lives.  Do you live far from your mom?

yes, i agree with you totally about her wanting to be connected its just so annoying at times. but i must say it is nice to have her care. i stay about 2 hrs away from my mom which isnt that bad i guess

I moved out when I was 17 (graduated high school and went to college). For 16 1/2 years my mama called me constantly! Daily. E-mails nonstop too. Text messages. Well My mom has been very ill since late 2008 and she lives in Florida. I am in Georgia. 4 1/2 hours apart. We speak maybe 3 or 4 times a week for a few minutes at a time when she can. I especially miss being able to have her here for each and every tiny detail of the wedding planning. We just continue to pray that she's able to be here for the wedding. So... I'd give anything to have her on the other end of my phone every single time it rings.
