You must be a very good mom for her to want to talk to you that much

I have a 26 year old daughter in California and she is very busy with her own kids and a family so when we get a chance to catch up its like fresh manna to my heart.
The other day while she was at the YMCA with her girls doing some classes we were texting each other for about 30 mins and it made me realize how much I miss my little girl.

My kids are all awesome. They don't call me often enough, though. Be thankful, PO.

Re: Why I haven't been here very much lately...
PO, I was thinking about this exchange. I don't want you to think that I was coming down hard on you about any of this. I guess it's just my mood today  Death'll do that to you sometimes, eh? Sorry if I sounded judgmental. I have every confidence in the world that you are an excellent mom - otherwise, why would your daughter want to call you several times a day! I know how she feels. I talk to my mom 4,5,6 times a day every day. I want to treasure every minute I have left with her and hope that it is a whole LOT of minutes - but if not, I will be grateful for those that I did have. If I could just be half the mom that my mom has been, I would be a very proud lady!

Margie, I didn't take your earlier post that way. I thought you were giving some perspective. You are right, I am lucky to have this relationship with her and that she wants to call me. I need to work on not being annoyed by having to stop what I am doing, several times a day, to chit chat. One nice good phone call seems more productive, but I'll work with it.
I guess if I was old, I could see her checking on me. One time I drove home from a visit and didn't hear the phone ringing because I was tired and went to sleep. Well, the next thing I know a knock at the door. She sent a State Trooper to my house to make sure I was all right. That's a little dramatic if you ask me. lol Children, gotta love them.

My daughter just found a job in this area and moved back home. It feels really nice.

Re: Why I haven't been here very much lately...
Margie, You might remember that my son adopted his wife's son - cute as a button. I love him!
He is 3-years old now. One problem, that really annoys our son, is that when he wants something or is disappointed he starts to cry. For instance, yesterday my son was playing his drums. The 3-year old looks at his mother, then looks at our son and then starts crying. What he wanted was to play the drums. My son was irritated because he didn't ask if he could play them before he started crying. So, he told him why he was taking his drum sticks away and sent him to his room.
How can we get him to stop crying about everything? I think his mother and other grandmother baby him way too much and they need to step in and stop allowing it.
I don't want to get into the middle of this between them, but I don't want my son to try and make the boy something he is not - like himself.
