[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 61095, member: 3626"] Honestly, I would simply turn off the television or at least change the channel. I would give him a warning that this was going to happen and then explain that there is no reason to say mean things even to a tv program. I would also offer him some options of things to do -- play a family game together, play a video game, whatever. For me, rudeness is high up on my list of unacceptable behavior. It's probably one step below lying and stealing. The worst offense to me is bigotry in any way, shape or form. This is equal to violence. Making fun of obese people is bigotry. So, I wouldn't worry about meltdowns, etc. I would stop it now. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
