[quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to get a word in? Are they asking you to solve the "problem" that they can't hear you, or are they happy to talk at you for however long they want to talk without your participation? With my parent, it was definitely the latter. Some elderly parents are not interested in their children's lives but just want to use them as a conversational outlet because their lives are otherwise lonely. So if that's the case for you, put them on speaker and do the dishes or laundry, and shout loudly when you don't want to listen anymore and say you need to hang up.[/quote]
