[quote=Anonymous]It has recently become clear to me that somewhere around the age of 75 the women in my family lose the ability to SHUT UP. They get up in the morning and start talking and it doesn't stop until they go to bed 14 hours later. Wine appears to make it worse. And you MUST LISTEN CAREFULLY to every word - even if you are driving and trying to avoid getting everyone in the car killed. Mostly they talk about themselves and the things that happened to them in their lives, so when I'm in my more magnanimous moments I have compassion because I think they just want to be remembered or to remember. But for the love of all that is holy, it sure would be nice if they let someone else in the room (anyone!) say something.

If this is my future, I'm doomed. Or, maybe DH is doomed. Does anyone have any experience with an older generation behaving this way? So far it's just limited to my mother and my aunt. No one else we know in this age group behaves this way. But, jeepers, after even a few hours with either of them I seriously want to shoot myself. Is there something more to this?  [/quote]
