[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 404331, member: 1514"] Actually...isnt this perfectly normal boy behavior? Boys get into scuffles with each all the time at least as far as I know. This is where I have a huge problem with today's child-rearing strategies. In the olden days (god I sound older than dirt!) boys played outside, they got into playground fights, each went home...momma probably fussed at them, Dad probably asked who won and smiled behind his back, and all was forgotten. No ones parents even bothered to try and get in the middle of the situation. That was unheard of. I cant tell you how many times my boys got into fights when they were in elementary school. The only time Tony stepped in was if the fight was uneven and more than one boy started in on the fight. Then he would say...one at a time or go home. And it had to be in the yard not in the house and no weapons...lol. We had a few try to come in the house with sticks and attack as packs. Tony walked in one day to find Jamie warding off 3 boys and Tony just picked them up and tossed them all out the door. [/QUOTE]
