Once my daughter got very upset at a boy teasing her and she hit him in the arm. I told her that if she was going to hit someone, then it needed to be in the face.... as it was, she got in trouble and didn't even make the kid pay for what he said.
I tell my kids to stand up for themselves. I tell them that I won't tolerate them bullying other children, but that I will back them up for standing up to a physical or verbal bully.
These parents that breed wussified children annoy me.
I do not want them lashing out every time someone hurts their feelings, but if a person is legitamitely bullying or trying to intimidate them.... even if it is only through speech.... I have no problem with them pumeling the kid.
