My family is like this. All we do is make fun of each other. It’s kept mostly internal (including close family friends) but that’s how we show love.

Oof, my mom is like this. My entire childhood was: bullying at school, bullying on the playground, then coming home to mom making jokes at my expense while telling me to "learn to laugh at myself" when I got upset because her words sounded exactly like what bullies would say.

It's one thing to poke fun at friends and peers who share your humor, but I hope adults recognize that kids are still developing their senses of self, and stuff like this can fuck them (and their relationships with their parents) up for life.
