My wife's son got in a fist fight at school and now I have to ground him.

[BigBallinChester]

Looks like some kids were bullying him about his weight and one kid pushed him, which turned in him punching some of the other kids. The principal didn't punish my son but she punished the other kids.

So I have to ground him now, he can't leave his room. What would you guys say was a good punishment that worked on you as a kid? I was a good noodle so I never got punished so I'm at wits end about it.

Because it is most likely a troll post.

Obviously what kind of parent asks most likely teenagers for parental advice

Highlights of Alfred's tales...

Kid too fat for soccer.
Kid now playing soccer.
Wants to get girlfriend to get sexually harassed to get a guy he doesn't like fired.
The next week she is his wife, and taking trip to Vegas.
He is writing a book on his "wife's" "child" about the hardships of his life.
His son married his ex.

... and so on and so forth.

I can't wait for next weeks thrilling chapter.

I'm the same, I was never a bad child, but I wouldn't necessarily say that defending yourself is a bad thing, especially when bullying is involved. I've had many people in school try to fight me, sticking up for yourself is something that should be done, doesn't always resort to violance though.

I wouldn't ground him harshly, if what you say is true, he was only defending himself. If you still want to punish him for throwing punches, take away something that he likes, for me it was reading and video games.

ur parents/guardians took ur books? wow

I thought I'd seen this guy before :D I remember that fat soccer kid thread.

If they only bullied him with words and he threw the first punch he would be in the wrong, but since he was phisicaly (I can't be bothered to spell check right now) attacked first, he is in the right. Don't punish the kid for self preservation.

[Blargo]

Kind of off-topic, but is there a reason why you stated "my wife's son" instead of "my son"?

It's becasue these are made up stories, and he's trolling for people to get upset about it.

[KEVYNE_KICKLIGHTER]

I rather have a talk instead of punishment, actually.

The kid needs to learn from you when to defend, when to walk and when to run away from fights. That's your role.

Buy a pizza and take him to the lake or park and have that father and son talk. Sounds like he's coming to age and needs that talk.

[Marcy]

I think you should praise him for standing up for himself, which is good, but you should also try to teach him that being pacifistic is better, because it avoids a situation from escalating further than it has to. I know it might seem like mixed signals, and it kinda is, but the point is for kids to learn that the person who can avoid getting violent will always have the last laugh.

Punishing him for physically defending himself, or teaching bullies a lesson when words fail seems a little unnecessary though.

My parents have taught me to be violent and get physical if a bully starts it. I've gotten in fights a few times when I was in school, but over time I realized that being a pacifist and using reason helps more in a situation than acting like a savage, since that's just going to hurt even more people than just me.


Easier said than done though, I'm well aware. But hey, I don't have kids, so what do I know.

I don't want to have kids, you have to take care of them 24/7/365 for 18 years and all your precious free time is thrown right out the window.

More like until they're sensible enough to take care of themselves more or less for the majority of the day

[大ゲイ P90]

oh this again.

Grounding is probably necessary, but it depends on the person. For me thats pretty much fine.

[spanglock]

Find that which your child cherishes dearly and remove it temporarily from their life.

Also make sure to explain why you're doing so. There's no point to punishing them if they don't know the reason behind it.
