Why does my mom always ask dumb obvious questions
Show your support
I just feel like there isn’t much of an effort after all the obvious questions are asked she just gives up and hangs up the phone The conversation is 99% of the time above the surface. I feel like the distance is making me drift away and I don’t want that. When I talk to my dad he’s pretty talkative and can keep a conversation going. I do feel frustrated deep down that we’re long distance to begin with.
Dude, I understand your feeling because I hate talking with my mom, but imagine if the baby we are expecting someday texts the same about us.. that would be pretty sad. I hate talking to my mom because she doesn't let me talk and says stories about people i dont know and dont care about... but ypu know, someday they wont be around and we will miss them. I think we have to make an effort.
I see what you're saying. I made it sort of a rule in our home to communicate once a week or every other week to our families. If you're speaking every day, it'll most likely be the same thing since there really isn't much to talk about after talking. I'd try having a conversation with your mom about calling once a week so you'll both have things to talk about and especially when you give birth. With a newborn, you probably won't have the time to speak on the phone as much anymore since you'll be busy with taking care of your baby, yourself and your home, not to mention sleeping.
While I understand your frustration, maybe your mom just wants to play an active part in your life. I talk to my dad every day too and we usually talk about the same things. I know that one day I won’t be able to talk to him anymore, so I enjoy talking to him (even if it’s about the same stuff) as long as I can, because one day I’ll miss it. If you get annoyed talking to your mom every day, then just be open to her and ask her to call you every other day.
