[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 240085, member: 2459"] I hear you! been there done that....and actually still doing it somewhat. When difficult child started at first and it was clear it was an "issue", we first had a talk with him about boundries and joking. (what is ok, what isn't and how to know) After that, a few reminders of the talk. Once THAT didn't really get anywhere, we basically were just blunt. "It wasn't funny" "I don't care, joking or not, you know better" Or something that told him that we were absolutely not buying it and to knock it off. Now that he's older, I pretty much tell him that I don't appreciate his humor and don't want to be around him when he's in a "joking" mood, then make him go to another room. For him though, I think a lot of times it's a button issue. He delights in pushing mine and husband's buttons and this is one of his ways. The less we engage, the less fun it is for him. I don't know if any of this could work for you but that's my 2 cents worth. Hope you figure out something...it hoovers. [/QUOTE]
