I dislike my family friend.
(Using fake names and not going into details for safety reasons)
I have for the longest time found a frustration in a family friend. I (17F) have had these family friends visit us every 6 months. Veronica (42F) and her daughter Lola (16F), who are originally from another country.
Lola is pretty nice to talk to, she is a bit shy and introverted but that is fine. It is when it comes to her mother i get frustrated.
When i try to talk to Veronica, it is like she dictates how conversations ago. She constantly interrupts with long explainations to the subject at hand.
An example, i have been learning a language she is very familiar with, and pronouncing it is a bit hard for me, and when i try learn it near her, she will try to make me say the sounds of the words till its correct.
Even when im trying to cook with something im not familiar with, (i learn by trying), she will just take over, talk a lot about how its done for like so long that the food is already done.
Its like the conversations are onesided honestly. Of course, i do not say this to her face cause i want to be a good host, i want to show her the best hospitality. I am just fed up with how things go when i interact with her.
I am just so tired
