Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.

Triumph 111.

Thank you.

I have been visiting with her more since the lockdown happened. We just spent more time together.

I was in a family for example, my husband and I had a newborn.

She is a professor. She is on a bunch of committees and I know she was on Zoom a lot at home.

I was in a family for about an hour away. I was in a family for about 4 hours a day.

I was in a family for about an hour away from home. I was in a family for about an hour away from home.

I have a question about that example. Yeah. After the first week with a newborn, why didn't you ask mom to go?

To your home, to your baby, to your husband, to your marriage. I'm sorry you didn't have the balls to be in the team.

You can get a trip back in your own home.

I think I think about your question about why I didn't say anything. No. No. No. No. You have to answer it now.

Oh, answer it. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't say anything because in my mind at the time I was thinking she probably lives in Texas.

I think she probably really wants to be here to see the grandbaby and she thinks that being here to help for half an hour to an hour a day is better than not being here at all.

It doesn't matter how she is justified. Madam. You're I agree. It's not right.

You're a married woman and a mother. You're talking like a child trying to rationalize your mother's behavior.

You have said to her in my never to be humble opinion. You're spending all this time on your work, not with our family. It's causing us stress. Please go visit my brother and come back when you really have free time. That's what a grown up says.

And can I say something about that, Dr. Laura, because you're completely right. So here's here's where the problem is because I realized something about myself is I can say things like that, but I wait too long.

I'm talking about conversation with her. Oh my god, like probably four months later when she had continued to do things that were dishonest and I just blew up.

Right. And I realize about myself. I have a problem. I have a problem saying things in the moment. And I wait until things develop into a pattern before I actually confront the person and then give them a list of the things that they've done that are hurtful.

I think it's important that I disagree. I disagree that that's your motivation. You're going to take a quick time out and then back with the conclusion of this call.

You know that diamond jewelry or not wearing whether it reminds you of a breakup or it's something you inherited and left in your jewelry box.
