    No, I just smile and ignore. They hate that.

    I push back and get in a fight with mom every single time.  One time I even let my mom push my buttons right after I told my husband he should stop reacting to that one family member of his that always pushed his buttons.  How embarrassing.

    Our mothers are great button pushers.

    When I would get frustrated with Mom and accuse her of pushing my buttons, she would just smirk and say 'that's my job'.

    These days, I walk...no run from people that enjoy pushing my buttons.  Normal, happy people don't go around doing this to their friends or loved ones.

    No they don't. And I don't always react kindly when they try to push my buttons.

  • Hi peapod!

    Yes, you're right of course. While you're running away, I'm setting fire to their cars. Ever wonder why your enemies disappear?  LOL

    No, I dont give them the satisfaction. I just smile and leave the scene of the grime.

  • Oh boy. That's a great question.
    I wish I could say that I turn the other cheek and just smile, but I'm famous for my tantrums

    There are lots of variables involved:  my mood, what I am otherwise dealing with at the time, who is doing the pushing, and which button or buttons they are pushing.

    HA HA!  Thanks, Jak.  I wouldn't want to be in path of one of yours, either.  :)

  • If I'm not mistaken, I believe that on maybe one or two occasions you let me with a sincere need for Preparation-H

    Ah, the bad ol' days...lol.  I've since discovered how much fun it can be teaming up with you, especially late at night when we're both cranky from insomnia.

    Yup.  Coffee intake, alcohol intake, hunger, heat...too many to list (a few of which would likely be moderated).  It is a complex equation.  

    I do find it funny, though, when everyone is positive I will react a certain way and I don't.  The look on their faces...priceless!

    Have learned to let it go...
    It's like desire,
    if you don't act on it
    it will disappear

    If I am in an emotionally retarded mood, I might.

    Those of us who push someone's buttons must be prepared to have our buttons pushed back.

    BTW: I love Sean and he can push my buttons anytime LOL.
