When family comedy time becomes a vehicle for teenage boundary-testing

My teenage kids and I started watching comedy specials together as a way to talk about life's absurdities, but now they're using everything as material to roast me and I can't tell if this is healthy boundary-pushing or if I've accidentally taught them that nothing is off-limits for jokes. The line between examining life and just being mean has gotten blurry.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The permission to examine life through humor has created confusion about what constitutes loving playfulness versus hurtful mockery.
