[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a weird parent thing with some people. She forgot that you have a hard relationship but remembered that there is an emotional issue even if negative. So she tells you stuff because she thinks you are interested. My MIL does the same to her kids. Drove me nuts for the first years of our marriage where every conversation was about what my SIL did that week.  And we have a perfectly good relationship with them. And then I overheard MIL on the phone to her daughter and it was a non stop monologue about my husband and me. She just does this as a way of making conversation. I prefer it over discussing people and her neighbors I have never met. [/quote]

Omg, not to derail but my MIL does this too. It’s never just ‘I went to lunch with my neighbor Darlene’, it’s ’I went to lunch with Darlene, she just moved here because she got divorced and her son lives here and just had a baby, he has an older son too who plays competitive soccer…” and so on. Then acts surprised when I don’t remember every detail about these random people I don’t care to hear about to begin with!! LOL. [/quote]
