[quote=Anonymous]OP don't fight with them. It takes energy and is bad for you, plus it also sets a very bad example for your children. It doesn't show them how to stand up to bullies, it shows them how to fight with their aging parents. My mother tries to fight with me, but I don't fight back because I am simply not interested in pretty much anything she says or does. Also she is using the same tactics on me that worked when I was say 7 and would cry or 14 and would act out. But now I'm nearly 50 (she is 73) I just do.not.care. I am far more interested in dignity and being unaffected by her crap and not letting my kids get wrapped up in it. Take a deep breath next time and just change the subject. or shrug and smile and say "you're probably right". See how quickly that diffuses the situation.[/quote]
