[quote=Anonymous]My kid was not like that, and she’s almost thirty. She was always an asygping person, but she knew I would not tolerate rudeness or unkindness. I never treated my mother like that, either, as I’d have been knocked across the room. My daughter was never afraid of me, but also knew what was acceptable. You need to have a family meeting where everyone has a chance to say their part. They are not realizing the impact of their words and actions on you, because they are self-involved, but you can make them aware. Make a plan with their input about to be respectful even when in a bad mood. They have to learn that we are polite to people we love, just like you would hope they are if they get married or live with a partner. Make a list together of what is and isn’t acceptable and allow them to add to it, like maybe they think you nag. Ev3n if you don’t think so, wrote it down.[/quote]
