[QUOTE="nvts, post: 419620, member: 3814"] Malika, if you figure this one out, you'll become a millionaire! :groooansmileyf: This is a complaint that parents have had since the beginning of time! A lot of our kids seem to view everyone as an equal - there is no serious "differentiation" from adults to children, laymen to religious figures, teachers to students, etc. Each person is simply that - a person. Therefore they don't feel a real "need" to speak to them differently - everyone is simply a person. I would suggest trying (and I don't know that it would work) to say something along the lines of "when you use that tone of voice with me, it makes me feel angry inside" or "when you speak to me like that, it makes me feel embarrassed" etc. It might make him see that you have feelings like he does. It's worth a shot! Beth [/QUOTE]
