I would say,.. my sister keeps calling me at like 11 pm, Im so sleepy when she does it and it wakes the kids up... EVERY time he started griping,..I would say that,... he may ask why it matters to him if your sister calls you at 11 pm,.. at that point you say,.. well you always vent to me,.. I figured id vent to you......

I agree with Crystal. Something like "You know, I've got to be honest with you. It makes me uncomfortable to have these little discussions about your personal life. I'm going to ask that we keep it professional around the kids, because I'm a childcare provider, not a shrink or an accountant. I am not in the position to help you with those issues, I'm sorry."
