• Passive aggressive remarks about daughter sub’s appearance
• Screaming arguments about sub’s romantic and/or career prospect and/or preference in dish soap etc
• The perfect combination of stifling protectiveness and subtle cutting verbal humiliation to totally undermine the sub’s self confidence
• Instead of “I brought my princess a toy” it’s “I brought you some soup and loo roll… I’ll just stay and give this kitchen a quick tidy up”
• “You’ve got a smudge”

and so on
