Sometimes when I read about parents and adult kids on this board I am amazed how obedient other adult kids are. I sometimes think other mothers are lucky. Lol never had that luxury. My daughter is 27, married, college educated and has a career. She does whatever the heck she wants. Always did. She would not bother listening me complaining about same thing. I mean she isn't rude but she isn't about bending backwards

So what it doesn't stop? Keep volume on the phone off and let everything go into voice mail.

I am rather obedient adult child myself lol in a sense that I don't talk back to my parents. But even I wouldn't be listening let alone explaining anything. I keep my phone on silent. At some point my dad ( and he is way worse than your mom) wanted me to move in with them. I said no and kept my phone on silent. Didn't reply if it was about that. And my parents actually live right by me.

She only keeps doing it because you are engaging. You don't need to keep explaining. You did once. Don't engage. Trust me if I can do that then you sure can.
