[quote=Anonymous] I don't think there is a need to be rude and say something hurtful back, but you can definitely set a boundary. You could say "it is her choice to share these things not mine" or "we prefer not to answer that question" or whatever. The relative did nothing wrong, but if she refuses to let up THAT is wrong. It's all about reading the room. I have a friend I know I can't ask "what are you up to for Thanksgiving" because it's when her father died and she does not even like to hear the word. I have a relative I would not ask "how are the kids" because she is in a custody battle and one announced she wants to live with dad. I respect that some questions don't work for certain people. my niece LOVES to talk about her dating life so if I don't ask, she will offer up and want to do get together with me for coffee to dish/ask advice/show photos.[/quote]
