Why is it that instead of getting information from the source or keeping mouths shut, sometimes family just has to blab? My grandmother, for instance, felt it necessary to inform me of details of my sisters life which I already knew. Not getting into details or anything, just randomly mentioning "I talked to her and by the way this is going on". Whether or not she was just 'informing' me or trying to nonchalantly strike up a conversation and get more details is beside the point. And she told my mom too, which my sister had not decided to do yet. You would think that the older generations would have a little more tact than that, and respect other people's wishes to not discuss things with them and NOT take it all personally. Anybody else dealing with this? (there's the rhetorical question of the year!)
