[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thisnis very common. My mother in law is like this and always was. I get stories about people i don't know (neighbors, etc) that are kind of relevant to whats up in our lives. Its how they relate to people. She is lovely but has no idea how to have a conversation, listen to someone, ask questions, empathize, move the conversation forward.  Her way of relating is to monolog and share a closely related story. Its just her way. I use to be annoyed but then overheard her tall about me and my kids in the same way to someone.  [/quote]

I think this is a good point about how some people converse. If these were two people in a similar life situation (both talking about their own babies),the MIL would probably still be sharing her own experiences. It would still be annoying but less weird: "Your baby does A? Well, my baby does B. Let me tell you all about it." But in the case of a grandparent rather than a parent, they have to stretch for similar stories from coworkers or from their other kids.[/quote]
