[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore it until she uses her (polite) words. Just turn away when she does it and move to a different part of the room. [/quote] This. Only, I would not even turn around or move. Just behave as if you can't see the motions or hear the sound. My father used to whistle to signal to me and/or my mother that he wanted us to come to whatever part of the house he was in. Totally normal in his culture, very rude among civilized people. Once I got in my late teenagerhood, I decided I would no longer put up with it and I began to ignore his whistling completely. At first he'd get mad and yell "Didn't you hear?", but I took to answering "Yes, I did hear you whistling. But I am your daughter, not a dog. You can use words if you need me." It took a while, but he did drop the whistlie thing with me. And my mother followed suit when she saw that my approach yelded results, so no more whistling to call people here.[/quote]
