[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 598493, member: 14557"] Thanks DDD! I have to keep that in mind and revamp it a bit to be more fitting to here. I really like an idea of reflecting it back to them. I did have some success with very matter of fact and literal answers and pretending I didn't get the cattiness. I mean, when someone for example smirked and asked, if we also have an older son, I did tell them that yes, easy child is indeed our baby and we do have also an older son who is three years older than easy child, smiled pleasantly and shut my mouth. It did make it more difficult to carry conversation further. I can act enough to pull pleasant and unrattled demeanour in these situations (thank you granny, I may never become a fine lady, but thanks to her, I can pretend one quite well) and try to do so if possible. These situations can still be very taxing mentally. [/QUOTE]
