I started telling a joke at dinner and my oldest literally said 'here we go again' before I even got to the punchline. The disrespect. But also my wife was laughing which means I'm winning overall.
This is the best part of co-parenting honestly. I get to unleash dad jokes at my place and the kids can't escape because they're trapped in the car on the way back to mom's house.
Ha, the pre-emptive eye roll. My son does the exact same thing now. I've learned to just lean into it harder when they try to shut me down. Double down on the dad joke energy.

Your oldest sounds like they've achieved teenage enlightenment. They know exactly what's coming and have chosen violence in the form of pre-rejection. Respect the hustle.
