[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 542524"] Hi Bunny - I don't post here - but I read your post and I feel your pain. I have people like that in my life too and it is so frustrating. I have found saying something along the lines of "I don't want you to SOLVE this for me, I don't want advice. I am just asking you to listen. Let's change the subject"- shuts it down. And if your sister is well meaning but misguided, she'll change her tune. If she's dense, it will redirect the conversation. With my mom (dense) I have gone so far as to change the subject pointedly "did you see the weather for next week?" and end the conversation politely but decidedly if the unsolicited advice continues. Sorry to butt in - but wanted to say - I get it. {hugs} [/QUOTE]
