Family don't tend to do it very much. My aunt does occasionally but only because she's slightly deaf. My brother does, when he's in "dinosaur mode". Doesn't wait for you to finish comment/sentence before butting in with his derogatory comments. I used to let him have his moment, not any more
At least your boss owned up to it, I know people who interrupt like that. We all do that to a certain extent, but at least we acknowledge it.
