Is it just me? Grannies who go on endlessly about their grandchildren.

I imagine we all get tired of people who dominate a conversation with one topic and one topic only.

Like you, I find it tedious to listen to endless praise of other people's children or grandchildren, cats, dogs, etc with no enquires as to how mine are.

Even more soul-destroying do I find endless complaints about other women's husbands. There is after all no way I can usefully comment on the state of their marriages, and I certainly do not intend to join in with a list of the traits my own husband has at times annoyed me with.

You have two choices: either stop seeing these people or find some way of insisting upon changing the subject now and them.

I'm sure if we weren't estranged from our youngest son and only GC I'd be doing the same so no, it doesn't bother me.

I don't think OP is talking about threads on the board.

I agree OP. A bit of proud boasting is nice and normal. But anyone who bangs on endlessly about one Subject, treating you like a captive audience is annoying be that subject their children their job their health issues, their house renovations or whatever.

Grannies are just proud if it bothers you don't read the threads that annoy you.
