my byfrnds daughter is 2yrs 4 mo's old. she can speak very well. i try to keep in touch with her by talking to her on the phone but would rather not have to talk to her mother/the exwife too much.
if i am nice and social she goes in to issues of money/jobs/etc and complains about her life to me.
i don't want to be rude but i would prefer to just talk to the child and say a quick hi and bye to mom.
what's a nice way to say i'll pass on hearing about your issues

just tell her ur in a quick rush and have only a few moments to chat, this way if u are more to the point she will quit burdening u with her problems and eventually get the hint.

Well, there's only one way to do it, and that's to tell her to stop. Tell her that you feel for her, but you cannot fix her problems. Say it nicely, and leave it at that. If she gets all snooty with you, then kindly say "I am going to hang up the phone now," and leave it at that. Don't be the b i t c h, be the mature one.
