[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to be cruel, but I honestly don’t understand why you can’t shut this down. Thank you so much, Marge. The kids and I are going to —insert activity in another room — see you on Tuesday? Let me walk you out. Or, if you don’t usually walk her to the door, gather kids and head to the other room. Don’t sit down. Don’t engage. You will feel so good once you’ve found that backbone.[/quote] I guess I was taught to always be nice and chat with people, especially those who were “the help” in some essence. Now I don’t know how to turn it off and I’m in too deep![/quote] How about facing it head on in a very nice way with a little white lie to pad the hurt. Something like "Gosh Jane, I love talking to you and I could go on for a while but I have to cut our conversations short because I'm falling behind on laundry/food/work/ and want to spend time with the kids."[/quote]
