This question is for those that have a good relationship with their parents and how often you visit with them or vice versa.

In my situation my mother was not the best mother growing up which led me to move out the day I turned 18. But I’ve tried being the bigger person and I’ve kept her in my life (not saying that we are super close but I keep in contact) this has led her to believe that we are close even though we’ve never sat down and talked about stuff because she refuses to take accountability for the way I was treated.

When my LO was born she started coming to visit him every week. She would stay for about 4-6 hours each time. I don’t think I saw her this much even when I lived with her (because she was never home, staying out with multiple guys for days to weeks at a time & going out on vacations leaving me home alone at a young age)

I’m not a confrontational person at all whereas my mom is. The every week visits became too much because if one week didn’t work for me (either sick or just busy) she would literally get into arguments with me about it saying that once a week wasn’t even enough to see him so it was a huge deal if she went every other week with seeing him.

But I made the decision that every other week would be best for us. Well literally to start the new year off, we all got covid. So we had to quarantine for 10 days, but then my mom got super sick with covid and she had to quarantine as well (after we were done with covid)

So she hasn’t seen him since Christmas which is the longest she’s ever gone without seeing him since he’s been born. We got into an argument last week because I wanted to wait another week before she came to visit (she tested positive for covid Wednesday and wanted to come Friday) she was getting very mad that she hasn’t seen him in a month even though we’ve literally been super sick and then she just got sick. If she doesn’t get her way she raises hell. I’m not trying to keep my LO from her but to me it seems that she feels this entitlement to him to see him more often. I feel as though our normal every other week is perfect (although after this last fight I’m tired of the disrespect and wouldn’t care if I saw her only once a month). She feels as though she should see him multiple times a week. So if In my situation what would you do?
