My aunts try to tell me stuff, I usually change the subject or tell them I’ve got stuff cooking on the stove and escape the conversation. They start the conversation with either ‘have you heard’ or ‘don’t tell anyone but’ so that’s my cue to make my excuses and leave the phone. None of my other cousins are married yet, so the stuff about them will be to do with ‘this ristaa came’ ‘she did this’ and so on and so on.
Husband agrees with you Partyslims-we’ll continue staying quiet about everything and hopefully another cousin will get married or do something far more interesting and the spotlight can move onto them-it’s been on me since 1999, it’s getting silly now.
Sara, it’s personal preference I guess?
