[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 273633, member: 7083"] Honestly, when my kids pulled that - more difficult child than easy child - I told them to get away from me. If they hated me so much or were so embarrassed by me, then they didn't need to be around me. Let them spend some quality alone time in their rooms. Letting it roll off my back didn't work. Coming back with something along the lines of, "thank you for sharing" didn't work. They are looking for a reaction. ANY reaction. I removed them from me instead. And until they apologized to me, the only conversation was what was necessary and was very monotone. When they did apologize, there was a discussion about it - doing the reflection thing like Fran said, and letting them know that I won't be treated in that way. And I really don't get it very much anymore. It never worked for them. I will not tolerate it. Period. Last night, it was easy child and I told him to get out. He went to a friend's and I told him not to come home last night. But, he's older. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
