What's weird is that these men didn't show signs of this type of behavior until the children came along. The men are probably suffering from an inability to empathize. Oh wait.. inability to empathize.. maybe I'm talking about you PP!

I think people are way over sensitive. You may have a different sense of humor (or no sense of humor) so nothing is funny to you.
Kids don't need to be given the perfect life - it is actually good for them to get a bit of teasing / good natured ribbing
I think I have a good sense of humor but this is not funny. It's barbaric. Kids / toddlers can understand much more sophisticated humor than this. Its obnoxious.

He just does not pick up on her cues that it's enough. I typically hear it from another room and want to scream (and often do). I have told him often that he is instigating her and to stop. I feel like I'm watching siblings go at it. It's not demeaning type teasing like insults. It's more the stupid no I'm not, yes you are, or taunting her by saying something like, "oh, child doesn't like brownies, I'm eating the brownie." I don't know what his motivation is, but I'm so over it. Does anyone have advice?
