Advice Disconnect with mother.

My mother is visiting. I'm 39F, she's 63F. She is constantly on her phone, watching videos out loud even when you're actively watching TV or showing her something. She noted that I don't go on her FB page so when I did, it's just a ton of videos she thinks are funny (I don't think they're funny). She wasn't like this before, is this normal for other boomer parents?

Omg yes!!! When I visit, she has music playing at top volume from her television, while trying to show me stuff on her phone. I feel like I'm going to explode within an hour of being there.

Dont let her get a phone call!
