My dad always made the kind of jokes and whenever we tell him to stop he’d say that we are too sensitive.

Even when he accepts that he is rude instead of apologies, he’d say “perhaps it was a bit too rude but (insert an excuse)”. Then he freaks out we’ll abandon him and talks about how family should be all good with joking around and he does it because we are family.

Can’t really dump my dad at this point due to old age but I’d dump him like a hot potato if he wasn’t my dad. I can’t stand it. My ex husband was the same way. Well sometimes he still is although not as much as when he was young.

I think it’s a known fact that sarcasm is usually mean and it’s not healthy way to communicate and it could be hurtful. Clearly some people didn’t get the memo
