[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in NYC in the 80's.  You can tell in my parenting. I'd have stayed out of it completely.  They handled it fairly.  Don't start a fight you can't finish.  [/quote]

[b]I wonder if you would've had a different position if the 6 year old was a girl[/b]?

I think the mother intervened for the sake of the older boy rather than the younger.  It's so important to teach boys especially to control their emotions and respond thoughtfully when provoked.  I would've reprimanded the older child while secretly smiling and thinking that the 6 year old got what he deserved.  I'm from nyc too.[/quote]

Nope. Girls aren't delicate flowers who wilt and die if they get shoved on their asses.  In my experience, girls fight much dirtier than boys.  Everyone I can think of who had to go to the hospital because of a fight went there because of a fight with a girl.  [/quote]

The girl variable brought me back more than a decade. Ds best friends with girl since newborn. They were adorable. She was a handful and also bigger than him at 4 years old. She tortured him all the time. He'd let her. To this day he's still gentle and let's things go. Until that one time...

I caught falling down stairs after she pushed him in a coffee shop. Dont know how I did it in a split second, put my hand under his head and broke his fall with my hand and my body to take the hit.. Pinky swelled up like a balloon. He was fine, I quietly cried from pain (marble stairs). It was pretty ugly after that. Not because of me or DS. Her mom raged and cried and made a scene. DS and I were already outside, some random patron brought me ice lol. Still friends. Still love them. But she was such a little b**ch.  Mom was/is lovely.[/quote]
