[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 147888, member: 3626"] Sounds pretty typical to me except the language sounds a bit extreme. Kids fight. They disagree about rules to games; who won; if they won fairly; if the grass is too even; if the grass is uneven; and anything else their little hearts can come up with. The good thing is they usually make up. The trick is to teach them to fight fairly -- no name calling, hitting, throwing. Don't try to hurt each other's feelings. Make up as soon as you can. Grounding your son for cursing over the phone is definitely a reasonable consequence. No matter how angry one gets, one needs to learn there are better ways to handle it than cursing. To call well after a fight is over and leave a message like he did is cause for concern -- carrying a grudge is human but that doesn't mean it is right. He needs to learn this. If you have doubts that the boys are well supervised at the other boy's home, try to have them play at your home more. Try to become friendly with the other mom, find out what they do over there.
