In laws are so repetitive!

Does anyone else have in laws that repeat the same things each visit?

They don't have dementia afaik, they're in their early 60s. Every time they visit us or we visit them we hear the same things and same stories pretty much each time. I'm getting so bored!

We made the mistake of telling them about something annoying our neighbour said, and now they repeat it every time we see them like its a funny joke. I've heard about the overseas trip they took 20 years ago like 15 times! "Funny" anecdotes about husband's childhood get repeated over and over. I've heard that I look tired over and over but really I'm just tired of them but I can't say that because that would sound so rude (I've told husband to tell his mum to stop saying that and he hasn't but that's a separate issue).

It's only a mild annoyance, not something I can really do anything about. Thanks for letting me vent haha
