Is there an age when u lose the concept of "ive talked enough"?

Question

My gramma is 80 and she just TALKS TALKS TALKS. i dont think that she understands when she has to stop talking. She interrupts all the time and I think she just lost her reasoning of when to stop. Is there an age when you loose that concept? Is it normal? I mean she talks about stuff that nobody really cares about. I love her and all, but its REALLY annoyin

Answer 1

Honestly, there's not an actual age where this happens. It's not necessarily a commonality among the elderly, either. For some people, it's just their personality. I can name people ranging in age from 3 to 90 who talk and talk and talk about the most insignificant things imaginable. So unfortunately, you'll just have to "deal with it". However, one day when you have some time, you should sit down with her and indulge her in talking about these meaningless things. It might be boring for you, but it'll mean the world to her, and who knows, you may even enjoy yourself!

Answer 2

i dont think that you hit a certain age and start talking. she probably is lonley and doesn't have alot of people to tell all her old stories to. i lost both of my grandmothers in their 80's and they were both talkers,but 1 was smart and 1 wasn't so it was harder to listen to the one that didn't make as much sense. you'll just have to bear with her. these are the last years of her life. make them good ones even if she's driving everyone nuts.

Answer 3

Cut your grandmother some slack child...show some maturity.  One of these days she isn't going to be around anylonger.  IF you really loved her you wouldn't be annoyed.

Answer 4

she probably don't remember talking, so she wants to strike up a conversation and  she probably is not interested in what your talking about because things are so different.so she probably thinks your annoying too.but enjoy her while you have her just grin and bare it my dad and my grandpa often made me feel the same and now that they are gone I wish I never felt that way.

Answer 5

Nope. You must endure. They have lived so many wonderful years and they have to share. Enjoy them and make her feel like whatever she is saying is very important. Now there could be a little bit of Alzheimer. Nevertheless, its okay. Continue to love her and have big ears for her.
