How do i get my sister to stop offloading all her work issues to me every night?

I live with my sister and her husband, im helping with rent, paying mortgage. im 25 shes 31.


She has a busy job and is a studio manager.


She comes home everynight and has to tell us exact words, details of who did what, and conversations between her colleagues at work.She has been doing this forever. wanting to share with us daily what happens but it lasts for hours.


I too work and have similar situations, but i dont feel the need to come home and drain everyone with excess information, how stressful my day was, at 5pm i see work as over, no point in discussing it, i feel like i cant relax at nights.


I want to listen but i get stressed easily and have so much of my own stuff to concentrate on at the moment. Her husband will dissapear as he knows she goes on, she knows she does it but isnt aware when shes doing it. I dont want to be rude, but is there anyway to ween her out of doing this?





our friend the other day skyped us and said how annoying it was when people come home from work and offload all the negative stuff everyday, and my sister said...';thats what i do, sounds like me';





any thoughts?How do i get my sister to stop offloading all her work issues to me every night?
Yawn and tell her very loudly, ';I'm bored!'; Then get up and walk away.
