I'm thinking I speak far too much to my own mother after this thread.

I'm 32 and she seems to ring me at least three times a day. In the morning to see how my kids slept, later on to see how they got on at school etc. To be fair, she does see them as an extension of her own children as she minds them for me when I'm at work (and admittedly I do ring her a fair few times when she's got them).

If she can't get hold of me, she just keeps ringing and ringing and then maybe texting and thinks nothing of ringing me at work (luckily my boss doesn't mind and like I say, she does have my children, so something might need to be communicated).

Sometimes she even rings my brother if she can't hold of me, she doesn't seem to understand the concept of someone maybe having a shower or going to the loo and not taking their phone with them!

Your poor mum has you and the grandchildren to worry about! Seriously, it sounds as if you are her social life.

All the same she was perhaps not to know how worried I was getting. I don't want to cause an argument. I am just relieved.

And a little tearful no doubt, especially as your husband is saying "Told you so." I must have missed the original reference to Key Lime Pie.

I do sometimes say to mine that she won't understand until she has children of her own.

My late mother's gripe was me arriving home at the same time as the milk delivery. I'd only been dancing the night away, I didn't even drink alcohol! Dad slept through it all. :rotfl:

I do feel guilty for causing all this fuss!

I'm glad she's safe OP.

I do know sometimes we get the horrors, one of those awful feelings that something is wrong. I didn't hear one of my boys come home from college one evening, I was convinced something awful had happened, he wasn't answering his phone so I went out looking for him, couldn't find him, so I came home to wake his brother up to see if he'd heard from him. Then I found out why he wasn't answering his phone, he was in bed fast asleep.:o I've never told him about it.

I have missed all mine coming in several times and tossed and turned all night, then, as was coming light got up to go to the loo, and looked in their rooms to find them fast asleep!!

I grew up before the age of mobile phones. Goodness knows what my mother went through.

The Key Lime Pie was what I was doing to take my mind off it. My husband says it tastes metallic.

I'll be back on here Sunday worrying about the plane crashing. Only joking.
