I'm feeling ruffled by a visit to an old friend. She used to be so interesting and lively and meeting up was always good fun.
I hate to say it, but since she became a Granny she doesn't seem interested in anything except her two daughters and their children. I have waited for that "first flush" to die down but the oldest is six now and actually it's become worse. Even if the conversation starts about something else it always comes back to her family and in endless detail.
This time she had her phone beside her and the Whatsapp messages and pictures were flying back and forth so she could tell me what everybody was doing in real time as well as what they had been doing in the last few weeks. 
I was so bored I could have poked my eyes out!
Should I say anything to her? Is there a way of doing it nicely or am I just bound to offend?
I could just put up with it ( like I did with my MIL and her operation!) but it doesn't really feel like a friendship anymore.
