I think it's normal to tease about some things. And likewise, to have a few areas about which the "OFF LIMITS" sign needs to be up -- and flashing!

Crazyman teases me about some things consistently -- and because they're true but not painful, that's OK. F.e.; bc I have "Aspie-Lite" spectrum disorder, I am very literal in some ways. When I give him a response of "Acceptable" or "Indeed!" he says "Okay, Seven"! (re Seven of Nine, Star Trek Voyager). We are both huge nerds btw. He gives me shyte about never having my phone around; I tease him that he can't breathe without his. When he's pushing a boundary, I will tell him, "Keep that up Man Child -- I shall phone Mommy and tell her on you, and she'll put you in the naughty chair!" (He is a huge, acknowledged, mama's-boy.) We both laugh, the air clears a bit.

I don't tease him about his clumsiness or forgetfulness, nor are his panic attacks and PTSD on the subject list to be made light of. Things he doesn't ever tease about: My kids are off limits; so is my seizure disorder & vicious claustrophobia.

Those boundaries can take awhile to gel. And imo it's OK to ask for a re-assessment: "Can we put ___________ on the No Trespassing List for awhile, please? I'm not doing so well with being reminded of it." is perfectly fine and should be given respect, imo.

JMO of course

Chyia, only half-caffeinated so...
