My definition of Sarcasm

Everyone as they experience, situations, respond in different ways. One of the best way, in my judgment to respond to issues, without over reacting is using Sarcasm as a way to be defensive.

Sarcasm is a verbal tool that is used generally by parents as a defensive way to communicate in response to reactions to unexpected demands.

It is a skill that is learned and honed over time and a reaction that comes naturally when there is no other quick response available. It is not meant to be mean spirited or angry—just an automatic response. 

In retrospect it can be something to laugh about and think about and something used by our children as they get older and respond in kind, when they don’t know what to say.
