I have told her numerous times I don't like to hear stories like that one.
She KNOWS it. That is why I said it almost seems she does it on purpose.
Hi Pam
It doens't matter how many times you have told her before, she obvioulsy needs telling each time, so when she starts up, just say, in a very friendly voice, hold it there Mum, I don't wish to hear the whole story, thanks! Don't even keep explaining why, just be smiley but firm about it.
