then my younger son started school. He has always been small for his age but man is he a firecracker. He has a temper on him. Holy cow look out. I think he gets that from me. Anyway, it was recess and all the grades were outside and the younger son, Troy saw that his brother, Austin was getting picked on so he stood up for Austin. Kicked the boys butt. ANd the boy was about 3 times Troys size. He got in trouble and so did the other boy. I thought that that was the end of it until one day I hear my doorbell ring and here is the kids mom standing at my door.

She was about 5'10" and pretty solid. Im 5'2" on a lucky day with shoes and about 100 pounds depending on what I ate that day. SHe wanted to "straighten" out what happened between our kids. I tried having a rational conversation with her but it wouldn't work. She wanted to brawl. I threw her off my property and told her she better keep a leash on her kid cause I wasn't going to put up with him picking on my kids.

Some parents just dont get it.

Im glad that your daughter stood up for herself. I really wish that Austin would. But I guess he figures why should he when his little brother will take care of the dirty work.

Here is a pic of each of my boys. Austin is the light blond haired one, he is almost 12 and Troy is the other one that has guilty written all over his face. Guilty for what? I dont know but im sure he did something.

You have two handsome boys. Bravo Troy for defending your brother. Like you, I always tell my son I dont want him fighting only if necessary, but I always tell him to try to avoid it.Thank god , the only fight he ever had was in the second grade when he was defending himself from a bully. My son is a good kid, the only problems I have with him is that his a bit lazy and I have to be in top of him to do his homework cause he always want to play basketball or videogames. My son is very friendly and respectful.
