Definitely not.  Don't be ridiculous. I am capable of giving my kid firm, direct boundaries when necessary (unlike the sing-song voice passive aggressive moms who talk about "in our family we don't hit! maybe other families are different!").   [/quote]

Ok so if you are giving your kid “firm, direct boundaries” then this obviously isn’t aimed at you. However, if your kid hits my kid and my kid moves to hit back, I will immediately stop my kid and say (no sing-song involved) that just because someone else hits does not mean they (my kid) may also hit and perhaps the other kid has different rules. Where’s the problem?[/quote]

I'm also wondering what the problem with explaining that other kids have different rules is. My kids often ask why other kids are doing things that I have asked them not to and the explanation is: "Different parents have different rules."[/quote]

"different rules" is for things like eating only at the table and wearing shoes in the house, playing in mud puddles and procedures for taking turns.  NOT hitting and you know it.[/quote]
