[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always deadpan and ask: “What do you mean by that?” when someones makes a shi$$y “joke” like that. [/quote] This is the only appropriate response. And when he backs his way out, dig in. 'No, I really don't understand what you mean and I would like to.' Nail him down to practically calling you a loser, then paraphrase. 'So, what you are saying is because I focused on law school and didn't go the traditional family route that I don't deserve a grown up meal and I deserve to be the butt of your joke? I just want to get this straight because I don't understand your thinking at all.' You should be good at doing this as a lawyer - just don't get emotional at all.[/quote] That would make the meal uncomfortable for everyone else at the breakfast. She should have just let it go and roll off her shoulders. [/quote] Yeah, she should have been the only one uncomfortable, right? Hell no. BIL deserves the discomfort and everything that comes with it that HE started. [/quote] A. she shouldn't feel uncomfortable about his comment. it was a JOKE. she should have just laughed it off and not given it a second thought B. nobody will view her nagging him about it over and over as HIM ruining the meal because SHE would be the one dogging him. [/quote] Please go on and tell us how OP or anyone should feel. If a joke requires someone to be put down, it’s not a joke. [/quote]
