[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call them out in the moment. “Mom, please don’t talk about other children. So anyway Sally, do you think it’s gong to rain later.” “Mom, we don’t talk about birthday parties around other families. You have no idea who’s invited or not. Wow, look! sally almost got a goal!” “I’ll answer your question when I finish talking here with Madge.” Then turn your body towards Madge. Rinse and repeat. Do not engage. [/quote] Absolutely this. The whole thread made me laugh because these parents sounds exactly like my EIGHT year old. we just got back from his older brothers baseball game and he makes comments like this. But he’s 8! And this is how I handle it. Amazing that your parents didn’t learn these things earlier in life but If they are going to behave like children then use the same strategies you’d use on children. Sorry OP- this sounds really irritating and stressful. [/quote]
