Im at work today and came home earlier for a break for some food and TLC off the wife and kids.

On the way out my wife says " BTW, your youngest son had his first fistfight today..He is 6 years old.... He had been getting shit off the neighbourhood bully, 9 years old for the last few months. Stupid stuff like taking his bike and go-kart and pushing him about,, that kind of stuff. Apparently this kid pushes my boy off his bike again and he gets up off the ground,, dusts himself off and walks up to the other kid and busts him in the mouth with a punch.... The second punch he threw hits him square on the eye... The bully was completly shocked for a few seconds then hits my boy again knocking him over... My lad gets up again... runs at him with his head down and charges into him taking the wind right out of him completly... My lad apparently then jumps on him and lays into him for a full couple of minutes... My other sons are there, somewhat shocked and then run in and seperate the 2 of them. The other kids parents then came out and started shouting at my lad.. My oldest boy , 11 years old tells the dad his son started it and if he wanted to say anything more he could see me as i was due home from work shortly.. The father whom I previously had to speak to declined my sons offer...

Im so proud of him,, well proud of them all.... My 6 years old then came home crying and told my wife what happened... He then says " Dont tell Dad i was fighting he might be angry with me.." Angry... I couldnt be happier... he stood up for himself and showed this little shit he wasnt going to take his bull any longer....A 6 years old taking on a 9 years old... they are worlds apart in terms of size and strength and my boy kicked his ass.... Dammm im a happy man tonight...

Re: Im a proud dad today

Happened with my daughter about 6 months ago. Had a girl who had been bullying her for a few months. This girl was about 4 years older than her and my daughter is a nice girl. We took got her into Taekwondo about 4 years ago so she learned how to take a punch and counter. I have always told her to never start a fight but always finish the one someone else starts for you.
This girl pushed her into the lockers and grabbed her hair so she grabbed her arm and put a knee right into her side dropped her and got the mount. Told her that if she did it again she mess up her face. Girl is now her Friend and kisses her ass. Found out about it when I picked her up from school and all the kids came running up to the Tahoe. She thought she may be in trouble like your son. Instead I took her to Black Angus for a steak.

Re: Im a proud dad today

eddie, you never taught your sons that no one fights just one son? My boys know if one is in a fight, there darn well better be two right quick.
Sam was sent home from school two weeks ago for a small scrap. Seems a kid has been bullying him since December so Sam has asked him nicely to go away, a few times to straight fuck off but the SN just don't get the message. SO the kids were in line for chow, the asshat talks some smack then bitch slaps Sam. Sam returned the kindness with a few punches blackening both eyes and fatting a pair of already large lips. THEN Sam askes the fuck if he wants an AMBER LAMPS! I was at work at the time, get a call from Panty 6 asking what the hell an AMBER LAMPS is. I freakin lost it! Burgers and SHakes for dinner as my boys know damn well if they are defending themselves, no harm, no foul, but you better make a damn sure the asshat knows better than to make further attempts.
Gotta love it when the boys make sure they let the rest know they better just leave well enough alone

Re: Im a proud dad today

Amen, congrats, whatever...

I grew up in SoCal right when when gang behavior came into prominence. Soon after that, to avoid discrimination lawsuits, schools implemented zero tolerance policies toward fighting (the victims were made as culpable as the bully). If there were a few million families like yours our schools, and neighborhoods, would be a better place.

When this happens later, stand your ground. My brother had many, many fights... and once suspension. The other kid, whose dad was a preacher, threatened to sue if he wasn't suspended. Of course, the preacher's kid was new to the school on account of having been expelled from his last school, for fighting of course. Every time they wanted to suspend my brother, my dad went down to the principal's office, a woman, and explained to her that she did not understand the dynamics of violence, how punishing my brither would encourage other bullies long term, and that my brother had a common law right to self-defense, and he would defend it with a lawyer.

Don't you just love how parents, like the bully's in this case, automatically side with their own children despite them most-likely knowing there significantly older child is a fucker destined for a life of incarceration.

Well, I think that depending upon your own upbringing you might realize that some bullies, maybe even most, are OK but have either absentee or weak father figures. I would have been a handfull for any single mother. Thanks to a frighteningly beastly father, that was in no way abusive IMO, I pose no threat to anybody but those who need paternal assistance as adults, educations in respect and decency. Most of these $hithead boys can be sut down down once or twice and they're OK. I think it takes a long pattern of paternal neglect before young boys are destined for jail. Sometimes even a well intentioned young boy can set them straight as per OP.

Couldn't agree more. Neglect or malfeasance is usually to blame for the uncorrected behavior described above. Only natural for a parent to defend their kid of course but in cases like Eddie's or James's, the absurdity can be comical at best, enraging or violent at worst.

I have three younger brothers and a sister and growing up in the 60's and 70's, they came up pretty protected but weren't assholes about it. Fair fights were a given for them, I on the other hand, had no such blessing as my cousins and older friends weren't always around when douchebaggery was afoot!

My daughters have the same rules I had 40 years ago; don't start a fight and don't let anyone hit you or try to. They have the right to defend themselves, and I have always backed them up though my oldest is the scrapper of the two! The younger is more the psycological warfare type

It's a great feeling when your kids show you they are a force to be reckoned with!

Re: Im a proud dad today

Just seen the little fucker biking past my house...

HUGE SHINNER AND A BIG FAT LIP.....

I couldnt help a dry wry smile.... I just High Fived my son.. and told him that he is to always only ever hit someone in the event of them hitting him.. Made it clear I have no problem with him defending himself and teaching that kid a lesson but he will get a smack off me if I hear of him throwing his weight around.... He understands perfectly... besides he knows the difference.

I totally agree with you. I was generalizing and pointing to the inadequacies of parents who fail to see their own short-comings, be they long or short term. Furthermore, the judicial system is in the process of setting precedent in-lou of the girl who committed suicide due to bulling which stands to make parents responsible for damages post their child's bulling. This may have the effect of forcing parents to realize my aforementioned point.

Re: Im a proud dad today

eddie, ain't nothing like being able to see some solid work eh?

My two know it's fine to defend self or anyone who cannot defend self. They also know that bullies will eventually get what's coming to them as well and don't act the asshat. The oldest boy, well, he's been standing up for self and others since he was in kindegarten and still does. Quite proud of my offspring and I can imagine you are as well
