[quote=Anonymous][quote]You need to re-teach him the concept of assault. And what sexual assault is. Because touching someone near their knee when they are your mother is NOT sexual assault. He really needs to learn these nuances before he goes to college.[/quote] Yep. And while I do think OP should have done more eye-rolling and less histrionics, I do think that son's reaction was typical of the GenZ Snowflake culture I spometimes see in my teens as well. Kids have been taught how not to be victimized or manipulated by predators without being taught how to have a sense of proportion. Consequently, they throw out terms like "assault" or being "disrespected" (now THAT's a teen term that makes my eyes roll) in situations where those terms are clearly hyperbole---except the kids don't understand that.
