      I don't know remember if it was her or her partner who told him that boys were tough, to man up about it; only that it made me feel sick.

      This kid was FOUR, tops. And he was being told to accept being hit by a bigger, stronger kid as an okay thing, the right way to be a boy.

      People see me hovering over my tall, strong kid and they think it's ridiculous, because they think, "Oh, but he can take care of himself!"

      Motherfucker, I KNOW he can take care of himself. I'm trying to teach him how to use that strength RESPONSIBLY, so he doesn't hurt YOUR kid.

      And the fact that so many people *do not get this* - that they expect some Natural Child Order to just sort it all out - really upsets me.

      This thread has kind of gotten away from me a bit - I have a lot of Feelings about this, obviously - but I'm going to try & tie it together.

      1) Babies aren't babies forever. 2) Children at different ages need different things. 3) Kids don't learn manners in a fucking vacuum.

      Normalising & excusing my son's worst behaviour because he's a "typical boy" isn't just a sexist failure; it's an insult to his complexity.

      If I were to accept his hitting as gender-based and inevitable, I'd be doing both him and his development a disservice.

      I am not a perfect parent; I suspect there's no such animal. But on this one point, I feel I'm doing right: he can learn to play nicely.

          And it was a good thread, and the parents saw that it was a good thread, and said that it was good. Amen.
