[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just let people tell their repeat stories. You don't like being reminded and neither do they.[/quote]

Beside the point. Both OP and her mom are reminding, it's just OP is doing it in a polite way and her mom is being rude. I'm guessing OP's mom is rude in other ways where OP is also polite and respectful.[/quote]

Or maybe OP isn't being as kind as she thinks and her moms is serving it right back up.[/quote]
Why are you like this? Why would OP lie. Why are you creating your own narrative? I have no reason to not believe OP[/quote]

Because in general this is considered very rude. There really aren't many ways to do it nicely even with a big fat smile on your face. Just grin and bear it.[/quote]

I actually think it is more rude to just fake it like you've never heard the story before. People who do this just sort of half listen and give canned responses. It's actually more rude.

Telling someone "oh yes, I remember this story" and then asking a follow up question is polite. It demonstrates to them that you listen to them, are interested in what they have to say, and would like to hear more. Much kinder than just letting your eyes glaze over and nodding while thinking about your grocery list.[/quote]
