Does anyone else have a boomer mom who tends to share her opinions on just about everything? How do you handle it?
I definitely can relate! It can be overwhelming when a parent is very opinionated, especially if it’s constant. One approach I’ve found helpful is to set boundaries—when you feel the conversation is becoming too much, it’s okay to steer it towards lighter topics or politely change the subject. Another strategy is to actively listen and acknowledge her opinions, which can sometimes help ease the need to share more. It might also help to find common ground on subjects you both enjoy discussing. Lastly, practicing patience and reminding yourself that her intentions come from a place of care can make it easier to cope. How do you usually handle it?
