Answer 1

Let the answering machine pick up??

Honestly, *you* seem like the one with the problem, not your mom.  Try to step back and look at this objectively -- she isn't 'making' your blood boil, etc. YOU are working yourself up over the most trivial of things.  If you don't want to chat, let the answering machine pick up, or unplug the phone.

Telephone her once in awhile, and maybe she won't think that the only way she will hear from you is if she calls.

Put one of your kids on the phone if they are old enough -- grandma and the kids would love the exclusive attention.

If she is just bored, then try to find something that she can do to keep herself occupied -- ask her if she can do some family research for you, find recipes for an upcoming holiday, make a costume for one of the kids, etc.  There are a million things you can do to keep her busy.

Think about it -- when you were a child, did she feel she needed medication to cope with you? How many questions did you ask her, how many times did you cry in the middle of the night and she was right there for you?  I think she sort of deserves some common courtesy and respect after taking the time to raise you.  She likely calls because she cares, not because she wants to be a bother.

Answer 2

Try talking to her again politely saying that you are quite bust often and ask her to just keep it to once a day that way she may not feel too bad that you never want to talk to her again or something, and then sometimes try and call her so that if she is just bored or lonely then its like you are making an effort to talk to her and not forget about her, good luck

Answer 3

just tell  to  stop
