[quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for the description. I don't have good advice for you because I don't think I would be that upset by the behavior you describe except the pushing. I also think you need to be more forceful shutting down the comments about DS' behavior from the other sibling. That deserves some punishment. I wouldn't want to come to dinner either if one of my siblings was going to comment about me getting in trouble constantly and the only response from my parent was trying to change the subject. It sounds very unpleasant and would make me snarky and surly too. Maybe try introducing more adult topics of conversation -- current events, etc. talking about your day is something boys don't seem to enjoy and probably feels repetitive and boring. It's like pulling teeth getting mine to relay information like that and they are a little younger than yours. They'll have a lively conversation about the tornado that hit nearby, though. Good luck.[/quote]
