If you can't deal with them, don't. Chances are they'll never understand and you'll just hurt your head banging on that brick wall.
My mom (and dad actually) is like that. And I just draw lines in the sand. If you want to discuss that, I'll have to leave (hang up, whatever). Then I do it. I've found that they love me enough and want to maintain contact enough that they'll respect it, even if they do complain about me to each other and everyone else behind my back.
I guess it's harder with a grandma.
