My mom came for a visit from Germany and is staying with me for 2 weeks. At home she lives by herself and is alone most of the time even she has lots of friends she enjoys her peace and quiet. Now she's here and she likes to talk pretty much all day about everything and anything., it amazes me how much she can talk, I guess that's were I got my big mouth from. It's a little hard to watch TV cause she talks right throughout a whole program. My boyfriend is very patient and understanding but I know it irritates him just a bitI'm so happy to have her here so I can't complain. Would you tell your mom to not talk so much.......NOT ME.

If I had she would not have listened, and neither does my sister. It would be fine if they were talking about appropriate things and I hope that your Mom is fun to listen to.

She is just trying to have you part of her life, that is good. My sister makes things up, talks about all the things she does not like and why and about abuse that she may or may not have endured and her bowel movements, etc. You mom sounds fun.

My mom not so talkative. But sometimes she did. All I do is just say yes and listen. I rather not to hurt her feelings. Maybe she feels she really needs to talk on everything at that time till she looks like a talkative which the fact she's opposite. I always told my self, why not give her a chance to voice out what ever she kept inside for some period of time? If she's not with me anymore, then nobody maybe will talk so much to me. So, I better appreciate the time she's still around me.

Well, I am sure you are enjoying having your Mother around. If it has been a while since you have seen her it has been worth the talking. It will continue to make some Great memories. I only wish I still had my Mom around so I could share good memories and times with, but she will be passed 5 yrs. next week.

Sorry to hear that, my mom is still pretty spunky except for the hip surgery that she had, they really messed it up and she has a hard time walking without pain. As soon as she gets home she'll go back to the doctor and see what's going on. She'll call me and we talk again

I think I can tell my mom to just slow down with all the stories,but in a very subtle way. You know how moms are sometimes. They can be sensitive.

hi, i could say that my mom is talkative sometimes especially when she starts to talk with us about the plan for the building of house and some issues about the business and money even the family problems too.for me being talkative of my mom is not that bad and i like her to talk with us.

We share the same mom! lol, just kidding. My mom tends to talk a lot some times too. Well, when we're doing a project or when we're just busy or just when we want to have some quiet time, me and my brothers tell her kindly and lovingly if she can keep quiet even for a couple of minutes and she understands. After maybe half an hour, there goes my mom again.

I think she is very happy to stay with you for the 2 weeks, hence she keeps on talking and talking to you and your boyfriend. It's really good of your boyfriend to listen to her. Of course I would not tell my mum not to talk so much, as I do not stay with my mum all the time, and I think it's good for her to talk more often when she visits me.

Mine wasn't a talker, but I'd definitely be glad to have her here talking to me...

It's only for 2 weeks, and she may not be back for a long time. My advice to you is to listen to y our mom. Ask questions about her youth and if possible, record her answers. You'll be glad you did. Since I was the oldest child and the only girl, my mother talked to me a lot. however, I only half listened, and when the story was repeated, I didn't listen at all. My mother has been gone for over 5 years now, and I often try to remember what she told me about this or that. The problem is that I'm already at the age when one's memory begins to fade, and I just can't remember many of the stories she used to tell me. I started to write a story for my grandchildren about how it was back in the early 1900s, according to my mother. I didn't get very far because I could not remember the details.

I always run things through my mind trying to remember the exact words and tone that my mom told me a story. I don't think I ever forget the tone of her voice.

Now if my mother lived locally and I was able to spend time with her all the time, then the kind of talking that you are describing her as doing would be something that really would get on my nerves. However, considering the fact that she is just visiting you from far away, I can see why she is talking so much and I certainly wouldn't be complaining about the fact that she was spending so much time talking to me. Enjoy the time that you have with your mother while she is visiting with you.

We've been having a great time and it's almost over. I enjoyed every word she said even though we had a view arguments

I'm glad you're enjoying a visit from your mom... Mine just visited from overseas for 3 weeks also. I totally understand how some things she does could somewhat 'modify' your normal activities or situations. Especially if we are so used of living apart from her for years. Anyways, my family and I have always tried to make the best of her visits for enjoyment of us all. We just have to treasure the moments we are still able to be together; who knows when that could be taken away from us...

That is so true and I wish it could go on forever but it can't, so I cherish every moment.

Well my mom and I talk to each other a lot, and she does not irritate me, cause I'm mostly the one that talks much more than her, and she's mostly the one trying to quiet me down. XD

Hi missybear! Oh no I will not tell my mom to stop talking. She just miss you and maybe just like to catch up things with you. Enjoy your days with your MOM! ;)

For me, it is a great pleasure to talk with my mom because I live alone and faraway from her.From the time that I took a vacation, I always find time to talk to her to share what had happen to me in those previous months that i left home. She'd love to hear my stories. I can say that it is the way we can get even closer.

We talk on the phone once a week and that's been going on for 27 years now.

I would never have told my Mom not to talk or anything else. I would give anything to have her here interrupting my day any way she wanted to. Appreciate her while you have her.

I always do and she can talk for 24 hours straight if she wants to.
