OK, I'm alarmed now...both of mine tease me, and I often tease back (or I stare at them blankly, my favorite response to everything). Teasing can be bad?
Soccer Mom, my two are very different from each other, and I find it helpful, actually. I hope you will find the new one, if you go with her, more helpful than the previous one.
