How do you stop people finishing your sentences off when you're speaking. My mil drives me mad with this. She'll ask a question, or I'll say something and before I've got to the end of my sentence she has attempted (usually incorrectly) to finish my sentence.
I think she does it to show she understands what I am saying, but it drives me bonkers, particularly when she says something I wasn't going to say. This happens with the most mundane stuff up to important stuff.
E.g
Me: I enjoyed shopping today because (mil interrupts)
Mil: the sales are on
Me: no because it was nice to have a few hours break from the chimdren.
Me: I don't think I'll take ds to the park yet because
Mil: it might rain soon
Me: no because he will benefit from a nap first
Trivial. But AIBU? It is every conversation and now I just don't speak because it's exhausting!
