Mod note: Please don't ask the same question repeatedly. It's exceptionally annoying and will slow down the approval process. It's considered spamming to post the same thing multiple times, and in future you may be banned for it.

As for your grandmother, what is it about her that you find annoying? If she isn't being downright offensive, perhaps you just need to grit your teeth and get on with it. Family ties are important and it just simply isn't worth being rude and telling her you don't want to speak to her all she's just accidentally winding you up. That said however, you can make your calls shorter - talk to her for five minutes politely, then excuse yourself to get back to a houshold chore or job you were 'working on'.

Of course, if she's rude to you, you don't have to just sit and listen. You can politely and legitiately say that you didn't think such-and-such a comment was fair. Tackle it like an adult - don't yell or get stroppy and refuse to speak to her, or the rest of your family will think you are just being childish and should speak to her anyway. If confronting your grandmother directly is unlike to help the situation, you could try talking to your mother or father about how you find it difficult to talk to your grandmother on the phone because you feel she's rude. You are unlikley to be the only family member wound up by her, so your parents may well have either words of sympathy for your position, or words of advice as how best to tackle her on the phone. Good luck.
