My mother and my sister are driving me insane

Mom just came back from visiting Grandpa a couple of hours ago, and she's already hitting on my nerves.
This is a really teenage-y post, but I can't stand them when they're together. Besides, Mom has thins thing lately that she's decided to discuss with us in detail everything that happens to her during the day and while I can understand that she needs an emotional outlet(no blogs or tweety birds for her, mister), it is also slowly killing me.
I want to love my Mom and not get angry with her and I want my sister to be a bit tolerant to her family too. Every time Mom says something about someone and it's critical or she's just not being too open-minded about things, the sister blows up and gets all agitated and pretty much shouts at Mom telling her how she's really mean to other people and how she just doesn't get things and how it's really simple and how everyone else has made this person a douchebag and it is in no way the fault of the douchebag in question.
I'm rambling, I know.
But it seems that for my sister only the people outside of our nuclear family deserve some tolerance and indulgence. Or pretty much everyone whom me or Mom say something judgy about. She, of course, can be judgy to whomever.
Mom is a whole new thing, it's so difficult to be around her for longer periods of time(for example, more than half an hour). She is getting judgier with time, maybe it's her age or something, but she's gossiping a lot and complaining a lot. She's still the sweetest person on earth, of course, and to most of my friends she's a second mother, but then just like with the sister only we(the nuclear family) see the annoying, intolerant, bitchy and judgy side.

I like to think I'm less fake if for no other reason then at least because I let my frustrations out to everyone and anyone. I don't just subject my family to my rage - I distribute it evenly. I think it's fair.

And I'm not even in the mood to fix the spelling and grammar mistakes in this post, so just deal with it.

P.S. If they continue this way I might just start to look forward to returning to London. Not yet, though.

same here. not about your mom and sister, of course, but the situation in general.
