It sounds like you have found a solution to things. In the future I would try the snappy comeback idea. Say something like "Oh, you are so cute! Is that how they did things back in your day?" or "Wow that is different. I can see why you are so stressed out all the time." "That is a good one! Does that work for you at your house? Cause it probably won't here." "How nice that you can live with all that structure and perfection. We prefer to have a bit more fun and youthfulness in our lives. Maybe when we are your age we will be more like you."
