If someone has some annoying behavior that you wish would change, have you found that doing something just as annoying to them in response can change the behavior?

I’m not a parent so have no idea in that form.
Have tried to give idiot coworkers back what they gave out, and most times they all of a sudden become a poor little picked on victim that goes crying to the boss.

It works on adults too.

I doubt it. Experience is a better teacher than a controlling parent or boss.

P.S. Just because your daughter stopped saying “I know what I’m doing” doesn’t mean she stopped believing it.

With teenagers I usually just grin at the thought of the tortures awaiting them from their own future kids.

No, and in my experience it’s not going to work. Frankly, it’s petty. Winning an argument with your kids? Childs’ play, literally.

I find that with kids a good punch to the throat usually shuts them up.

Well, @Pachy, she stopped saying it. That’s all I wanted.
