I am grown with a two year old daughter of my own. I live about 2 days drive away from my mom for a reason. She has six children. I am in the middle. She seems to have a better realtionship with the baby of the family. When I talk to her all she does is talk about her. She is graduation from law school in may and it is all she goes on about.
I have not talked to her for periods of time. I am trying to find the happy medium of having a relationship with her that I can share my life and her grandchild and not deal too much with all the crap any ideas?

Write her letters and send pictures of you child and call her once every couple of weeks. That way you can express your feelings or just tell her what is new in your life and you won't have to listen to her go on and on about herself. Maybe it will be easier for her and less time consuming to just read your letter and respond at her convenience via e-mail,phone or letter. My mother always liked to receive mail but she knew how to dial a phone and talk as well.

Be proud of your baby sister. Don't get jealousof their relationship. Far as mom try to be polite for the childrens sake. You don't have to frequently see mom if it keeps the peace. Try to talk to her everyday on the phone even if it's for a few minutes. Still visit sometimes. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

perhaps flow to her for suggestion on certain issues...Like your daughter. once she sees that you value her opinion, you are able to start construction a bond from that. i understand i would love to do issues my personal way, because i do not consistently believe each little thing my mom does. even notwithstanding, I nevertheless make positive I pay interest and make my mom nevertheless experience as notwithstanding i look as a lot as her as a mom.

you need to understand that every mum does the best with parenting as their parents did with them. nobody is the perfect parent and you need to remember that.
