Clearly tell them what will or won't happen and proceed to show them that it's not up for discussion or debate, by simply refusing to engage past that point.
It shuts the bullshit down quite effectively.
I've found that calmly/matter-of-factly asserting myself, with as few words as possible, works well with my family. I put on a blank stare, and absolutely refuse to allow myself to get sucked into their emotional arguments; Their angry tirades, desperate declarations, and turning on the waterworks won't affect my reaction in slightest.
"No', and/or "I don't care" is all they'll get, because that's all they need to know.
