Sometimes a mother’s love can go a little too far.

A son in Austria found that out the hard way after his mother’s non-stop repeated calls.

A court in Klagenfurt, Austria fined her for repeatedly calling her son – some times up to 49 times a day.

Yes, mom, my shower went fine and no, I didn’t use the soap you bought me.

Two minutes later …

Yes, mom, my oatmeal is hot enough. No, I don’t need you to give me a ride to work.

49 times a day, really? Isn’t there a point where if you are the son you just turn your phone off? Press the ignore button? Heck, may be

even change your number?

Sorry, moms, but isn’t that a little much? I know you all love your children and all but after five or six times a day wouldn’t you even get

tired of talking to them?

Obviously not for the 73-year-old Austria mom, the son finally had enough and took her to court.

The court fined her 360 euros, or about $478, for stalking.

“I just wanted to talk to him,” the mother told the court, according to Kleine Zeitung, an Austrian newspaper.
