Yes, god forbid we should take 30 seconds to exchange unnecessary pleasantries with our fellowman... I mean, who wants a kinder, slower world where we engage in conversations? Yep, like when after being on the phone with my Mom for about 45min. (yesterday 79min.) I say 'ok, dear, got to go' Mom 'love you, call me tomorrow' Me 'I will, love you' Mom 'what time are you coming home tomorrow' Me 'I am not sure, will try by five' Mom 'ok, until tomorrow than' Me 'yep, good night' Mom 'I am not going to bed yet' Me 'have things to do?' Mom 'not really, just watching TV! Oh...by the way...yesterday I had been watching this show.....................................' ...exchanging pleasantries with fellowmom can continue until 'there is someone on another line, love ya'.........my husbands usually saves me by being that 'someone'. Care to argue more? Well, personally, I don't resent so much the time being pleasant with the woman who brought me life and will someday be gone. I also know how to end a phone call and I do it. So I don't need to resort to lying to my mother or to complaining about her on the internet.

So, after 3 pages........... am I the only person on Earth who thinks Swype is the devil's work?! I can tell you're on a regular keyboard by the lack of typos! ETA: and there would be no damnyouautocorrect.com without swype. OMG, you have to check out that website! It's hilarious!

How long have you talked to your mother the longest? Consider I am doing it every day! You just want to be a pest? Be my guest...

You talk to you Mom every day??! You're a better daughter than I am! Yes, we live like 30 min away from each other and I do not call her only on those days (1 or 2) she comes to my store to shop. Otherwise I am calling her every day while my husband is watching his favorite shows. Its my only time away from him. Talking to my Mom is the way to get away from my husband whom I am with 24/7...well, except when I am talking to my Mom... (watch Rock is going to bitch about me hating my husband...who gave life to my child...etc) 1.......... 2............ 3...................

I get what both tloonya and Rocky Mtn Saver are saying. Of course, you don't want to be mean to your Mom, but there are some people who are impossible to end a conversation with! I have clients like that and it drives me insane. (Just a handful, thankfully.) Sometimes you DO have to be a bit abrupt or tell a white lie and get off the phone.
That's also something I taught my son when he was younger: how to end a conversation and that it is ok to end one. He was very close to all of his grandparents but regularly calling his greatgrandparents was sometimes intimidating to him (when he was young). I taught him to call and chat and take charge; wind up the conversation after a reasonable amount of time and end on a cheery note! That way those calls never became a drudgery or something he'd want to put off. Anyway, JMHO.

Rocky is calling me motherhater because I don't want to talk to my Mom more than an hour daily. But I am sure everyone understands what I had said including my opponent. She just wanted to be a party pooper. I don't mind.

How you feel is entirely up to you. Green, I love that you taught your son how to make the phone call from the relatives a positive thing. I really don't see what's so difficult about ending a phone call, and I'm glad you taught him to do it without being passive-aggressive.

I don't think it's difficult to end a phone call, either, but some people feel it is rude and will let the other person talk on and on and on and wait for them to be done. Sometimes they are never done! Which sounds like tloonya's mom and a few people I know. DSD had a hard time calling greatgrandparents because they wanted to keep talking, she felt she ran out of things to say, she'd start feeling uncomfortable, etc. It's just a per person thing, I'm sure. I worked with her the same way and she got better at it now that she's older.
And, sorry, but you couldn't pay me enough to spend an hour per day on the phone with my mom or anyone else for that matter! I'm not a phone person; I'm an introvert; and I just don't like talking that much. To each their own!

As you can see from your quotes, I only said what I personally do and don't do with my relationships. I never called you anything.
I was never the one who said you are a liar, you were the one who said you lie to your mother to get her off the phone by inventing someone on the other line. I simply said I don't feel the need to do that because I just politely end phone calls when necessary. I never called you a liar, you called yourself one, dear.
But that's all yesterday's news, anyway. Literally, at this point!

Just to be clear before we move on -- I never said anything derogatory about 'the people you love'. The above comment implies that I did, and I want you to be clear on that. Oh, no, honey! you said following: Well, personally, I don't resent so much the time being pleasant with the woman who brought me life and will someday be gone. It DOES imply that I am resenting being pleasant to a woman who brought me life, no? YESSSSS!!!
I also know how to end a phone call and I do it. So I don't need to resort to lying to my mother or to complaining about her on the internet.
So here you implying that I am a liar and betrayed my mother by talking about her on Internet!!! STOP defending yourself, you were insulting and degrading and for NO reason because you choose to miss the fact that I do in fact talk to my Mom EVERY DAY! And I was posting about my Mom without any complaints about her, just explaining how difficult it is to abrupt the conversation!!! with person YOU LOVE and RESPECT!!! BTW I had never had this kind of conversation with my Mom (not exactly), I was writing AN EXAMPLE! You had been vicious! And I don't mind that but STOP pretending you have no idea you were NOT cool!
