How much time do you spend with your mother?

[Glitterylipstick]

Random post and I’ll probably be torn to shreds for my opinion here but does anyone else agree spending all day every day with your mother is a little odd?
Not living together, live 30 minutes apart, no health issues - both young and fit (52 and 30), only spend time with one another and in the mothers’ house, grandchildren also there outside of school and never seem to go out to the park or anywhere but their grandmothers house, so no jobs/hobbies/social life outside of each other.
Obviously no one can know the full circumstances so I’ll present this as lighthearted, but surely it isn’t healthy and cruel on the children during this nice weather?
does anyone else spend this much time with their mother?

I spend about eleven hours of the day with my mother, not because I want to, but because I’m her carer and dependent on the carer’s pension. If not for that I’d spend far, far less time with her!

It depends if that’s working for the mother and daughter. It would be odd for me right now. But I lived at home until I was late twenties and would spend a lot of time with my mother, so it wouldn’t have been odd then and we still have a great relationship now.

A few days every 2-3 months (long distance between us)... I do love her a lot but to be honest, that is enough! :)

I'm close to my daughter and always have been. I'm close to all of my children. With my daughter - she is a single parent of a handful little boy ! I give her support in the form of going out together as a family, they come here for meals regularly and I babysit - he comes here and stays the night. It works for us. If we see too much of one another we give it a few days space but then one of us will need the other for something and that's how we are

About once a fortnight. It used to be minimum once a week but I got very tired of being the one who was travelling to her (about 45 minutes between us).

I probably see her on average once a week, I haven’t seen her for a few weeks but I’m seeing her 3 times this week.
She lives a mile away, is disabled although in fairly good health considering.
If she needed me I’d be there in about 5 minutes, I do speak to her a few times a week.

Every other Saturday we spend the day together doing something or other just the two of us.

My daughter visits her a couple of times a week, of her own volition. Sometimes I go too, sometimes I don't.

We holiday with her (and my dad!) once a year.

I do think every day, especially if kids are stuck indoors too, is a bit odd and co-dependent. In a vacuum of course, I don't know their personal circumstances.

Every few months. I saw her at Easter (for a day), seeing her in a couple of weekends (for a day), then October will be the next time. 100 miles between us

I don't have kids though, which might impact things!

We live 1.5 hours apart and see each other about once a month.

I see my mum nearly every day for a few hours, she's agoraphobic so it's always in her house/garden! She's my best mate, I don't think it's odd. Similar ages.

This time of year DD will be working most weekends and I work during the week. We live a 6 hour round trip apart so see each other rarely. So far this year we had 2 days in January and 2 days a few weeks ago around her birthday. The next time is in August at a wedding in Australia of all places.

Speak on phone couple of times a week, see her once a week for a couple of hours, once a month spend a full day together doing something fun.

Every 2 - 3 months for a weekend. She can't travel so I go to her. Tbh it's enough, but we do speak every week.

I saw her every week while on mat leave. Now I'm back at work it's more like once a month, if I can. We live 1.5h from each other and life is busy. Talk or whatsapp most days. I'm early 30s she's mid 60s. Hoping to see more of her when she retires later this year.

none

she pops around twice a year for a 5 min visit

It sounds weird to me.
See my mum for a couple of hours every few months. Speak on the phone for 20m every couple of weeks.

Thank you, @Glitterylipstick!
