[quote=Anonymous]Bumping thread to vent.

I just spent Father's Day with my local ILs and have decided that my ILs are keenly interested in themselves. I used to think that ILs weren't much interested in me, but now I realize they ask zero questions and hurry any conversation that doesn't involve them so that they can get back to themselves.

So, so strange. Infuriating to have to sit at rapt attention to hear every single detail of a relative's financial problems but when DH talks about recent travel to an interesting locale, MIL uses the opportunity to express once again how she hates to fly. Quick break in conversation flow, then they are right back to themselves.

Latest is a lecture on Alzheimer's disease. One of their friends recently diagnosed. All they talk about is how devastated they are, how worried they are, how strange the symptoms are, etc. My dad died from Alzheimer's complications two years ago.

I've gone gray rock, but I can't figure out how to manage the non stop talking and monologues.[/quote]
