It's another MIL one.
She never stops talking. No topic is too banal, trivial or personal for her. Whether it's which brand of bread we buy, which spoon I use to eat yoghurt for breakfast or that fact that a sticker from the manufacturer was still attached to a hairdryer in my house, it just never stops. I recently had a baby don't get much sleep, and I find her behaviour exhausting and intrusive. We just had her to stay for a very long visit (we are talking months not weeks or days...don't ask why). If she isn't nagging me, she is on DH's case about how he should wear socks in the house or use more salt in his cooking, or about how someone had left a poo stripe in the toilet earlier in the week. It is literally a 24/7 monologue and it nukes all possibility of what I consider to be an adult conversation. She hovers over me while I'm eating and doing household chores aslony endless questions. She is an educated, intelligent and cultured woman, and as far as I know doesn't have dementia (she has always been like this). She is a very good hearted person but the talking is so extreme that it is making me not want to be around her, and making me feel quite resentful, and this in turn is putting a strain on my marriage. I know it sounds really petty but honestly it has nearly sent me over the edge. Have brought it up with DH and he just thinks I'm being a b*tch
How can I deal with this?
