    I'm the baby too Cinny, my brother tormented me something rotten, he still does at 27 years old! OH was the baby too so he picks on me now as he's found someone younger and weaker to tease to make up for growing up with 2 older brothers! I thought that once my brother had left home I wouldn't have to put up with being poked and tickled to near tears but now I get it from OH! I may take up boxing just so I can fight him off!

    OH's the baby with THREE big sisters, but he still picked on them all and now picks on me :rolleyes:

    It must be boys! Why can't they play nicely? My glasses keep getting bent out of shape due to OH's play fighting with me, well he's play fighting, I'm genuinely using all of my strength and he barely feels it!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Haha, I know!! OH keeps saying to me "Squeeze my hand as tight as you can" (I can only suggest that small things amuse small minds!) and I squeeze with all my might and he just laughs at me.

    My OH does that too! And he'll pin me down with one arm or leg and watch me struggle to free myself, usually when I've just told him that I need to go to the toilet! I really wish I wasn't so weak and pathetic!

    haha, OH is just the same. Although I have found when 'play' fighting camel bites on the thigh cripple anybody. Weirdly painful but reduce you to a laughing fit.

    I like to pinch a teeny bit of skin on the top of his arm or thigh, hurts like heck and quickly stops him! Although he usually tries to get his own back which is not good!

    I quite like it really, because I'm very tall and robust myself it makes me feel all dainty that he can just throw me about :o

    Don't think I know what a camel bite is Cinny!

    Yeah, for a while the camel bites stopped OH but then he started using them against me. Sadly I'm a kicker, I don't mean to, but it has resulted with tears on OH eyes.

    The worst is this, which I really don't get, I'll be happily snoozing and suddenly he'll yell 'BRING ON THE WALL' and push me off the bed. and I wish I was making that up.

    It's like when you use your hand to mimic someone talking, four fingers on top and thumb on the bottom. Like one big pinch! But repeatedly, and on the thigh.

    Ah so not using teeth? Interesting! OH always wakes me up really insensitively, though not as bad as that. Just saying "WAAAAKKKKKE UUUUUPPP!" in a really whiney voice, no kiss or anything!
