[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 376708, member: 1233"] Letting it taper off is a good idea. I know she has to learn this stuff on her own, just like I did, but it still hoovers. As M lives in OH and we do not, visits are not a frequent thing. For some reason the phones work differently in M's world. They only work for me or the kids to call her, never the other way around. If this is mentioned she will call every week for two weeks, then skip a week, then 2, then no more until it is brought up to her. The entire time she tells my mom all about what I said when she called me - even if she has skipped months!!! So Jess will learn that we are nice when she comes to visit, but we don't count on her for anything ever. [/QUOTE]
