Has anyone been in a situation where your child has got into it with another kid and one of the two parties ended up at the others door or went at it at the school?

My kid got his nose broken by another kid.
Turns out he got a little too big for his britches talking shlt in the football weight room. Got popped in the face.
Learned his lesson.
There was no need for me to get involved, my reaction was, "well you probably won't do that again, huh?"
He *was* 17, truth be told I probably would've freaked out more if he were younger.
eta: plus, there was nothing really to be done, a broken nose just heals itself, for the most part. If there was a hospital bill I would've been super pissed off.0 -
At the park once, there was a kid that pushed my daughter down a couple of times. The parent saw the whole thing. After the second time I asked her if she was going to do anything about it. She looked right at me and said no. I hollered at my daughter and told her if she did it again to knock the crap out of her. This mom couldn't believe I told her that. She grabbed her kid and said "We're leaving" to which my reply was "Have a great day". And for all the pacifists out there, yes, I taught my daughter that committing a violent act was OK and I don't really care what anyone thinks about it. Sometimes some people need knocked on their *kitten* to learn a lesson.0

No. We have some class where I come from.0 -
I am legitimately confused right now...0

So, you are saying these situations never happen in your neighborhood. Do you live in Pleasentville?0 -

Having class = implying others don't? I must have missed that class.0 -
Watch the move "Carnage" with Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz. It is all about this thread's topic, and is absolutely hilarious.0

People who get into public, physical altercations may, quite possibly, be lacking in that area. Yes.0 -

Hmmmmmm. Mayby I misunderstood. I do that often. Okay, let me give you a senario. On the way home from school, three neighborhood kids start throwing rocks at your child and there is a bruise on the cheek. What do you do. Me, I would call the police.0 -

*Cat hiss!* SOMEBODY has a serious superiority complex. And yet, it's always people like that whose kids grow up to be those sh*thead little thugs that the cops are always busting for stealing Whip-its from the local 7-11.
Class, my @ss.0 -

Obviously, that would be an appropriate response. But that is a far cry from getting into a fight with the other children's parents and NOT the same question at all.
Ollie, if you knew anything about me, you would find that particular comment about my child quite hilarious.0 -

No but I can see that happening. Some parents are proud of the fact that their kid is a bully.0 -

But, what if that does not settle the problem. Sometimes the parents need a little.....inspiration to get their kids under control. But I am not talking about extreme cases. I am talking about your child getting bullied in a non -hazardous form and no one is doing anything to help.0 -
Thankfully, I never had that need. My youngest kid had some kids starting s*** with him so he grabbed one of them by the throat and jacked him up on the wall. He never had any trouble after that.0

In this case it depends on the age of my child and the age of the kids throwing rocks and their history. I think there's a difference between a very bad idea and bullying. At the same time, when parents step in to a situation with bullying it may cause the situation to worsen.
Simply saying there was once this one incident doesn't really give a whole picture.0 -

Yeah, when I was in middle school I had some boys giving me a real regular harassment until I strung one up against the wall and lifted him off the ground. I told him that if he ever touched me inappropriately again we'd have a real issue . . . and then I looked at the other boys and asked them if any of them wanted a lesson too. Everything was a little more copasetic after that.0 -
Are you asking if the two kids ended up going at it? Or are you asking if a parent went to the other parent's house to discuss it, and it ended up with someone going off on the other?Has anyone been in a situation where your child has got into it with another kid and one of the two parties ended up at the others door or went at it at the school?0 -
They have class where you come from?
More like you have some ignorance where you come from.
Now for reality:
1. Take a breath and get the whole story.
2. If it is at school let the administration handle it.
3. If it is an act of violence, let the cops handle it.
4. Do not step in and get in an parents face, because then you become the one in the cop car.
5. For me intimidation work wonders. I can scare the **** out of a kid just with a stare. ;-) So if that is an option, use it, because they cannot arrest you for a stare.0 -

Going "ape****" on a nother person, wouldn't exactly teach my children a valuable lesson, so no I haven't, and I don't foresee a scenario where I would.
I'd have a conversation with the parents about the incident, and hope they are able to get their child under control.
If not, I do my best to remove my child from the situation.
If that weren't possible, for example, a classroom bully, I'd talk to the teacher/principal until something was worked out.0 -
Try having your 36 year old husband throw a wiffle ball at your 6 year old nephew so hard that the kid starts crying and has a welt on his hip from it - because the kid thought it'd be funny to throw the ball at his uncle's face and he didn't think it was so funny. Well, nobody thinks it's funny when a grown man pegs a small child with a ball. I'm not sure who needed the lesson more, my hubby or my nephew! :laugh:
Edit: For the record, no one went ape on the kid for throwing the ball at my hubby's face but everyone was pretty PO'd at my hubby for what he did. Personally, I think my nephew deserved *some* kind of punishment for being a little jerk BUT it was definitely not the hubby's place to teach that lesson nor did he go about it the right way. If his sister had punched him in the face for pegging her kid with a ball I wouldn't have been surprised.... she probably would have if not for mixed company at the time.0 -

That's what I'm thinking *L*0 -

I have been in the situtation where a kid was constantly picking on my daughter in elementary school. The school did nothing and to make matters worse this family lived on the same street. I attempted to try and talk with the parents of said kid and it was useless. I did have to talk myself out of punching this woman in the face. Although i think I did exchange some choice words with her.
It finally came down to me tellling the school if they didn't enforce the zero tolerance they claimed they had then I would sue them if my daughter came home with another bruise.0 -

If a parent went to the other parent's house to discuss it, and it ended up with someone going off on the other? But Starting off the meeting badly.0 -
WAAAAY back when I was like 12, there was this kid Tony in my neighborhood that decided to spend the better part of the morning riding his bike down the street throwing rocks at a friend and I playing in her front yard. It continued again after we went inside for lunch and whatnot. Well, around 3 pm my friend's older brother got home from work and found out what was going on. He waited in the woods right next to their house and when this Tony kid rode the bike into the driveway to try to nail us with rocks again out comes my friend's brother and knocks this kid on his @ss bike and all! You could hear him crying all the way home.
Well, now it's about 5:30 and here comes Tony's mom to my house. She's spitting FIRE at the front door screaming at my mom for what *my* brother did. My brother, you see, was much older and didn't get home from work until about 10 min before Tony's mom shows up at our door. Turns out, she didn't realize that the other girl I was playing with had the same first name as me and she went to the wrong house. She was too embarassed to go to the neighbor's to confront them.
My mother just turned around and said, "I don't even want to know what happened." (Sarcastically, of course.) But we all got a chuckle out of that during dinner!0 -
I had a 15 yr old girl screaming profanities at my 8 yr old once. I went over to her house to complain to her mother. Turns out the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
The lesson I learned from it was this: Never argue with idiots; they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience!!
Now I just tell my child to handle her own problems or avoid that particular kid.0 -
From what I remember (this happened over 30 years ago), my mom got into it with a neighbor because I hit her twin boys. They liked to pick on me and I got sick of it and asked Mom what to do. She told me if they started their s**t again to pop 'em one. Well, they started again, so I popped them one. Their mom came over and b*tched at my mom about her boys getting beat up. My mom told her to keep her boys in check or they'd get popped again.0

I find the fake silver spoon encrusted with plastic rhinestones shoved up you @ss to be quite hilarious, too.0
