What's a polite response to "whatever"?
I don't like that response,either. The comment means that my remarks/comments are of no value. So, I think an appropriate and polite response would be - "By your last response, I am assuming you agree with me." And, see what happens. Or, respond with "Whatever, what?" Not so polite, but it gets the message across.
Polite response to "Oh, you're just a baby!"?
Hi all. This has been nagging at me for some time, but it just got provoked again recently. I find that when I have told a couple of older women my age, they respond, "Oh, you're just a baby!" The first woman was only 5 years older, and the second woman is about 15+ years older. I am turning 27 this month. I actually find this condescending, not complimentary, and am looking for a good way to respond to this besides "heh heh...yeah...I guess..." I'm not a baby. I'm a grown woman. I have been independant since age 18. I am college-educated, smart, successful, and financially secure. I resent being called a baby by (probably well-meaning) older women!

My spouse and I dropped something off at our friends' house at 8 pm. One spouse enthusiastically invited us to stay for dinner. The other spouse neither opposed the invite nor encouraged us to stay. My spouse felt it was rude to stay. I thought it was rude not to.Simple, go with the spouse who was doing the cooking — or in charge of the cooking.That’s the one who knows how much food is available.You said it was “close friends” so that means they both like you, right?You only want to avoid them not having enough to share.
