I was going to say the same exact thing. It's hard to act interested when you have never met ANY or these kids.
I guess some people worlds are small and people talk about what is super important to them.
To hear about 'Billy' playing soccer for his high school this year, when ẃe have never met Billy is okay until it morphs into one story, after another, on every grandkid who no one in our group has ever met is hard to take.
I actually feel the same about people who want everyone to love THEIR dog. It is your Dog, not mine.
No apology- I don't really care about your dog, especially if you dress them up and put them in a baby carriage. We'd rather hear about your "grands". lol
