non stop talking

My grandson says "Do you have to talk to everybody?"
I say they are being friendly, and it's polite. But you do not talk to everybody, only those you know.
Anyway, when you live on your own and there's nobody to talk to a lot of the time, it's good to talk to someone every day.
Nothing worse than somebody being found dead at home and nobody noticed they had not been seen for days or weeks.

I'm the non stopping talking person you are complaining about! My family walk away from me too, hey ho, I won't stop, it's who I am.

My mum can be really embarrassingly rude. She often says hurtful things, mostly directed to her grandchildren, e.g. Telling them they are getting fat etc., she too feels she's old enough to say exactly what she wants.
My DD told her that she was pregnant a few year's back and her answer to that was "bad luck". Unfortunately a few days later she miscarried and I will never forget that.
As for the non stop talking she is a little guilty of that but I just put that down to her age.
ethelbags my grandson also has problems re eating

My MIL talked non-stop, she didn't live nearby but I phoned her often. After a day at work, looking after the family etc, I would be so tired but she would chat non-stop about inconsequential things, her neighbours, the buses, the local Council, the local shopkeepers etc. I would lay my head down on the kitchen table and nearly nod off, once she caught me when I mumbled 'Yes, of course' and I should have said 'no'.

I do talk to people in shops, must stop myself, I am becoming an old biddy.

Sounds a proper character! Lol. However I wouldn't tell my Mother to be quiet, maybe let it wash over you instead? only answer messages when you want to, and don't answer all her calls.If at the shops and she is yakking away, chivvy her gently somewhere else?
At least you know that she isn't lonely, and has plenty to do.
