1. I refuse to let tech devices tell me what to do. I won't even use a vocal GPS....they are particularly annoying! 2. Couldn't you already do that on FB without buying a separate device? 3. It would be a good thing to have her examined for dementia. By the time it's overwhelmingly obvious treatment is less effective. 4. That's a pretty negative outlook. Don't let it define you. 5. I reckon it's less about you and more about her connecting with a time when she was happier with her life. Venting is healthy......tell that to the watch!

Your mom must have read the same book that mine did. I don't mind. Each time she changes her story , I'm surprised and momentarily forced to pay attention. So you're a gadget techie? 🤔 Kool...

I won't help but smile later on, when I speak with my mom. 👍😊 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

1. As digital tribalism engulfs us (as HAL 9000 intended), we are subtly (but inexorably, I'm afraid) becoming enslaved to messaging from our devices. Resistance is probably *futile*, but we it's battle we have to fight. 2. I applaud your effort to stay connected. Most of us rationalize ghosting our aging parents because we have no travel time to spare in our *busy* lives. Your solution is elegant. 3. We now appreciate that *age* is one of many contributing influences upon our cognitive abilities. Given that *age* is both easy to track and visually explicit, we tend to over-attribute causality to it. I have younger colleagues and acquaintances that have exhibited your mother's *symptoms* for as long as I've known them. I believe there are other underlying causes that are not age-dependent. 4. Rather than *favoritism*, perhaps they were simply *more congenial relationships*. And *congeniality* is not be confused with *love*, Like all organisms, humans are attracted to paths of least resistance. If you had/have a complicated relationship with your parents you may have been ignored/bypassed because they did not have the energy (or patience?) to deal with you. That doesn't (necessarily) indicate that they loved you less....they just lacked strength to be more inclusive with you. 5. My glass-half-full perspective on the ex-boyfriend: it is common ground for you and your mother. In my experience, as children get older, parents are less involved their lives (for many reasons, good and bad) and so the connection points recede deeper and deeper into our *dustbins of personal history*. Rather than *resentment* or *grievance*, perhaps your mother's message is non-judgmental: "here is a conversational topic I can share with you for which you have context and doesn't involve my failing health issues." That you are conscious of and write about these issues is outstanding. Most of us drown them in self-medication.

Lesson One, never buy or use an Apple product !! Lesson Two, a FB Portal?? You really want GATES knowing EVERYTHING about your life? Lesson Three: Parents will be parents, at any age, and guess what, if you have kids, YOU will become just like YOUR parents, get your backlog of stories NOW! Lesson Four, If you dont nail down that Fave Child spot when in the delivery room, it is very possible you never will !! Lesson Five, If you have a cute lovable (at the time anyway) BF, and you two break-up, it is almost certain in times not convenient you WILL be reminded of HIM by someone ! And that is WHY many folks choose to spend holidays alone, or on a recreation vacation, OR, if elders of the family, with the whole family so they can have FUNN a few times a year tormenting everyone else !!!
