When generational differences clash over family humor styles

My family has always used self-deprecating humor as our love language, but my teenage kids have started calling it 'toxic' and 'trauma bonding' and now every family dinner feels like walking through a minefield. I don't know how to be close to them without our usual way of connecting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

What felt like warmth and connection to one generation reads as harmful patterns to another, leaving everyone confused about how to relate.
