"and then BF makes snorting sounds and says "mommy is a piggy" - Do I ignore it? Say "that's not nice"?"
no, you laugh about it, and make more piggy noises and make your kid laugh.
1. it immediately takes away any power in his words. 2. it lightens the mood 3. it makes your skin grow thicker.
my x was passive/aggressive, as i am too, and she'd throw things like this at me, but much more hurtful. eventually i learned to laugh it off as it were nothing. it takes some creativity to find humor in those words, but they're there.
and now, years later, its still funny.
Yup, thats a much better idea.
