[QUOTE="SarahEN, post: 2116900, member: 512696"] Thank you all! I glad I am not alone. Its a bit complicated to tell her to be quiet. My FIL passed away a few months ago (not from diabeties) which has meant we have ALOT more interaction with my MIL. She comes to stay with us for weeks & often I take her to the supermarket to give my hubs a break - i've known her since I was 12 & she's my 2nd mum so I feel like I have to look after her. She's obviously lonely & neither me or my hubs want to make her upset by telling her bluntly to shut up. Tempting though it is!!! I don't think she is trying to be difficult or annoying, she's just not thinking & has been indoctrinated by years of diet advice which says carbs are good & fat is bad. I get it - its just I wish I could get her to understand that doesn't work for me! Short term, I think I will just start online shopping deliveries so i have no need to go to the supermarket when she's here. [/QUOTE]
