I think calling her mom was ok, but saying things like "how are you" vs "how is the mom doing", "is mom feeling any pain" etc felt less personal.

Oh yeah. I can see how that would be irritating to say the least. Please use second person and address me directly, don’t talk around me. I literally don’t remember anyone actually asking me anything until I was in the ER with 104 temp wondering if attempting to have a child might actually kill me instead. And even then it was like, “why you crying?”
