[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 437066, member: 11755"] I have tried the fight fire with fire so when he starts with the EEEHs, I'll do them right back. I know he's losing it because he'll start laughing (not a real laugh though, like a tickled past the point of laughing) then starts bawling. I try to explain "that's frustrating when someone interupts with rude noises, isn't it" then i get "YOU'RE RUDE!!! YOU HATE ME" etc. I haven't found the magic touch yet and its killing us. This morning while this is going on, I get mad, tell him to knock it off or he owes me another dime. Then he hides under the covers, and cries for a good 10 minutes (hysterical crying, not little boo-hoos). I pretty much just ignore it (at this point I'm pretty ticked, the ehh's have been going on for at least 10 minutes), then i dry my hair and at some point he stops crying. I send him to the kitchen for breakfast and within 5 minutes he's totally fine. Back to happy town. Joking around, playful. I know I'm not doing something right but I don't know what it is or what IS right. Even postponing a talk so 20 minutes after he's calmed down trying to talk about it again doesn't work because he picks up right where he's left off. I told him we'd figure out a fair way to stop the back talk this afternoon (since the dimes aren't fair) but I know as soon as I bring it up the hissy fits and crying will start again. I almost don't even want to bring it up again. [/QUOTE]
