My son Vincent is 7 and I have twin girls the same age as him that live down the street from me. I don't like them. They're bratty, sneaky, pushy, disrespectful, and did I mention I don't like them?
Anyway for some reason one of them doesn't like Vincent. He's very laid back and really just an all around sweet boy. I'm not saying this because he's my son either. My daughter is kind of the opposite!
This little brat, I mean girl is always in his face telling him she doesn't like him etc. He usually just ignores her and goes on with his business but the other day he turned his back on her and she PUNCHED him in the back! After she did it she ran home real fast before I could say anything. I'm kind of a hothead especially if you're messing with my kids and I told Vincent that if she touches him again that he can hit her back.
Then I changed my mind and told him that if she hits him to grab her hard and tell her if she ever does it again he will hit her and he will hit her hard!
Now I'm not sure about any of it. Vincent is doing very well in Karate and "technically" could kick her butt, but that's not what I want. But I also don't want kids hitting him and him doing nothing. I'm so afraid of bullys even though our school system has zero tolerance for it. His master instructors teach the kids self-discipline and to avoid fighting but all bets are off once someone puts their hands on you.
I want to try and have them work it out on their own before I have to talk to their mother. She's never around. She just opens her door and lets her kids out and never watches them. All she cares about is spending money on clothes and stuff and I'm afraid if I confront her about this it could get ugly. I don't want that either because we have to see each other.
I think I'm rambling now but what would you do?
