Rizzoli's mom is into everyone's business way too much. Especially since she shouldn't be involved in police business. And since 2 of her children are cops she should respect that. It seems like she tries to start drama. And she's always telling people they need to grieve. I think it's so they need her shoulder to cry on. I get her being a little nosy or caring. But in my opinion it's way too much. I just think the writers took her need to be needed over the top. It gets annoying even though it's one of my favorite shows.
