serene56: When I think about it, she's been difficult about all the men in my life (the ones she knows about anyway ... )
What's with that
It is all about attention. She is testing if you have more time for her or a man in your life. She will only test you when there is a man in your life. It’s back to normal when you are alone again!! Normal behavior, I expect, as you more than likely were her prime cater all her life!!

serene56: So I msg my daughter and say i would like to go overseas for a couple of weeks in September next year and would it be possible that she could take care of things here, if not don't worry as I will engage a service
I'll check my schedule. A couple of weeks free board in Oz sounds like a plan.
You have brought them up, both of your kids are adults and you have a right to your own life.
My mum is older than you and never dated after my dad died. I would have found it strange (probably) but it is her life. She is always there for us if we need her, but does live her own life and does her stuff. We kids know that and are happy for her. If one of us kids would kick up an unnecessary fuss, one of the siblings would say something. Can your son sit her down and have a word with her?

No he has MH issues so has difficulty sorting information and besides that he's a man right
I get what some of it is about and it's been going on for years - her husband's family is full-on and in their faces all the time, they're very demanding and 90% of her free time is taken up with them
I've no problem with that (even though I couldn't stand it myself) but then when I politely mind my own business and get on with my life, I'm branded as being disinterested
