If you said "You know what? You're being a bitch." it might prove useful in moderation. In dev. psych (et al) when trying to deal with young children it is emphasized that you make your feelings very clear to them. Students are encouraged to say to a child: "When you grab my leg like that it makes me feel bad." instead of just walloping the little brat.
