[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore it. None of these people being discussed are being hurt. Try to get your relatives interested in topics you think are more interesting. You sound insufferable and annoying. And no, these are not my chosen topics either, but whatever, people who are older don’t have as many daily interactions that lead to new topics of conversation and they tend to find illnesses and other people drama interesting, so what.[/quote]

NP.

“So what” is my ILs discussing my SIL’s MS diagnosis broadly with extended family when she had explicitly asked us (her parents, her brother and me, the only people she chose to share it with) not to discuss it with anyone.

“So what” is my parents telling all of their friends that my brother is gay when my brother had only told parents/siblings and had specifically asked us not to discuss it with anyone, and that he would be telling other people in his way, on his terms, in his own time.

“So what” is my aunt spreading literal misinformation about a diagnosis her daughter received, making the entire family think she had an “elective” late-term abortion when in fact it was the opposite of her choice.

That’s “so what.” Ignoring the expressed wishes of people when it comes to private information, and spreading misinformation. That is so what.[/quote]
I was responding to the OP, and none of her examples were remotely similar to yours. Perhaps you should start your own thread.[/quote]
