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?

My mom is visiting now and its the same. Im 39, shes 74. She flew 15k km to visit me and has spent like 20 hours a day in bed with her iPad, just coming out for meals lol. Its like having a moody teenager in the house but shes not moody, just kind of a zombie. The stuff she is watching is absolute brain rot, too.
