Stopped the Gossip
by Helen
(Virginia)
I have a sister in law that constantly gossips. I don't think she has many positive things in her life, so she seems to live to talk about what others are doing.
It got so bad I finally told her I wouldn't continue the conversation unless she changed it to saying something good about somebody. I kept doing that until she finally got the message.
My mother in law says she thinks it's helped because even her conversations with my sister in law are better.
