[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I appreciate you all who admit to being interrupters. Please know that people who talk more slowly or less still want to be heard, and it is unfair for you to cut them off. What you have to say is not more important just because you are louder or more excited. Just do your best to TRY, since you know you are doing it, especially if someone has already pointed out "I wasnt done yet."[/quote]

Hi, OP, I also hate to be interrupted.  I have a slight drawl so maybe I speak slower than people from the North?  However, instead of saying "I wasn't done yet", I just look down, wait until the interrupter is done interrupting, look back up and restart my sentence (or paragraph) from the beginning.  After a couple of interruptions, the interrupter starts to bite their tongue and somehow manages to be polite enough to let me finish what I was saying.  And, yes, I mean it that I start from the beginning [i]every time[/i].

While you're being interrupted and restarting, don't look aggravated, just keep smiling like you know they'll get with the program soon enough.  Works like a charm!

Good luck with your MIL and count your blessings.  Someday she'll be gone and you'll miss having her around.  BTDT.[/quote]
