Is It Normal ?
Posted: 11-25-06 13:03pm

I didnt really post the topic fully but I am just concern with my mother's jealousy because she really take it out alot on me for the past two years. My mother never really calls me out of the blue and say how are you, instead of that she asked me when she will see her grandson. I told her soon as possible because me and my ex have joint custody so we both share visitation with our son. We told our parent that we don't want to have a family member fighting over their grandchildrens for a stupid reasons.. So lately I just found out from my brother that my brother told me that my mother is pissed at me because she wants more grandchildren.. Why would my mother be mad? She knows that in the world that I have plenty of time. I just don't know how to deal with the situation but many time I told her, im just 20yrs old and I don't want to rush things right now.. Give it a time for me whenever I am ready to have another but who knows.

So I said enough to my mother but how can I say to her about her calling me just for grandson but she should call me and say how are you doing.. Hows lifes treating ya .. Like any normal mother would do.

Tell me what you think.

I'm actually sorry to break this to you, but 'normal' mothers do not exist except in some fantasy television programs.

Every family and relationship has it's own dynamic. Maybe your mom doesn't feel she can call you to ask you about you. Maybe she feels it is easier to call you to ask when she will get to see her grandson (who is your son, so that also means she would be seeing you!).

Do you call her just to 'chat'? And not 'chat' about your son?

I think your brother maybe took it a little wrong when he told you that your mom was angry with you for not having more children. I'll be she would like for you to have more - but only when you are ready. No one wants to inflict children upon anyone when they aren't ready to have them!

I totally agree but when I call her she just dont really talk .. But I talk about things like how my son is doing and how is he capable of talking and ya know the milestone of toddlers. I know she is just seeing me too but she takes out all the attention on my son. I know she loves me too but she doesnt show it.

The reason why I dont bring him around is because she is alocholic and doesnt realize that its affecting the whole realtionship in the family and I really don't want her to lose it.

Thats another problem... I mean she isn't the person I once knew when I was younger. I knoe people change but it frustrate me to deal with this situation.
