[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL talks for the entire meal while my husband and my FIL eat and stare at their plates in stony silence. I used to try to talk, or at least diffuse the political financial religious inflammatory topic of the day, but realized it was too much work. I joined in on the head bowed, silent eating thing years ago and enjoy it now. [b]I do occasionally amuse myself by timing how long she can talk without anyone else saying a word. 17 minutes is her record.[/b][/quote] This is the right attitude. Time the silence! And if they make it to say, 10 minutes, excuse yourself and go be alone.[/quote]
