to not want my 5 yr old ds to go boxing? would you?

[hayley2u]

sorry another post from me, my life is like a soap opera lol

ok so so my son loves to play box, but dont all boys?
so just has phone call of ex dps parents to ask y views on my ds who is 5 (6 next month) on him going boxing. i completly refused and aid over my dead body.
the exs dp's are against it, its ds dads idea.
i am against this i hate violence, and dont really want to introduce him to this life, plus he s still my baby and dont want him to get hurt. he 's quite timid anyway and his dad wants to toughen him up.
if he was much older andhe really wanted to do it fine id think on it although dont agree. but for now i am not budging
am i being unreasonable ?, whats your views would you let your child?

My DD was showing signs today when she whacked older child in face for getting on slide. Considering she's only 14m do you think she should be in training?
She's also been known for kicking DH in the goolies (although have to admit under my instruction).

brightongirl sometimes you have to blame the parents, esp when the child is not even 2 and she's using violence like that.

HOW DARE YOU - I've got your number Molly and am training like a very Rambo (punching leg of lamb). Fistycuffs at dawn!

I couldn't agree more Molly. Brightongirl - take my advice and don't encourage mindless violence even in the very young. this can lead to endless problems in later life IMO.

Right I'm going to report you for being so rude. How do you know that I'm encouraging mindless violence. Do you know me? I think not..

wow, have i hit a raw nerve? Either you think it's funny/cool to encourage children to be violent towards one another, or you are just making fun...

Thats not mindless violence. Its deserved violence.

I've spotted this sort of talk of violence in your other posts brightongirl, its no wonder your child behaves like she does.

i'm not a troll..unlike SOME

Leave me alone. Why are you picking on me? Do you not like my profile? Molly I think you're stalking me.

I think it would be best, rather than allow this to deteriorate further, if we all agree to disagree on the way that brightongirl brings up her dc's. perhaps we should call it a day...

No, I want you to tell me what I'm doing wrong. I think I've given DD a great start in life.

I think thats a good idea witchetygrub. If brightongirl posts any more she'll end up with SS after her!

Ah, so you admit you are doing something wrong? i'm sure dd is fine but telling her to kick anyone in the ghoulies is not the sort of behaviour that's going to lead to a happy outcome is it? How old are you anyway?

time to grow up brightongirl..

Don't think they'd find me in Sydney Molly

I think you given her the best start someone like you could give a child.

Get a life witchety

well, i think your time would be better spent switching off the computer brightongirl and spending some quality time with your kids which didn't involve hitting, kicking or punching. Think you can do that for us?

I'd leave it now witchety otherwise she'll get her dd to beat you up!

They're quite happy playing operation wolf on the playstation. They look so cute with the plastic machine guns.

because cote, you said it so sarcastic, your were 20 last week so how old are , so i will be hostile to you.
i spoke to ds when picked up from school he said i want to go so i an beat the others, i told him that they will urt him too.
he s hanged his mind now. but wants to do the training

My DD gives me a "duff" whenever we see a yellow car - i think its very cute, although probably quite wrong. She knows it is not OK to hit and i have never had a problem with her hitting aggresively.

Boxing with a 5 year old? i wouldnt imagine they would be doing actual fighting would they? I was thinking about the whole boxing thing the other night. I had to leave the room while my DP was watching a film that was getting violent, i even had to turn my music up to drown out the shouting and screaming. Five minutes after the film finished we were both watching Amir Khan knock seven shades of shit out of his challenger - i loved it. I don't know why that is, i abhor violence but really enjoy boxing. I think Amir Khan is a gentleman and always behaves with real dignity and manners. Boxing at an amateur level involves head gaurds and really is a contact only sport. The same for karate i guess, although i do remember my DP coming home one night from training really upset and mortified because he had knocked a 70 year old woman over. His trainer told him not to hold back, so he didn't - she laughed it off .

My initial reaction was, no way jose, but on reflection, its the same pretty much as martial arts, which can be really quite nasty.

no i cant watch boxing even whem amir khan fights bloody hate it. apparantly they get god money which is prob why ds dad wants him to play.

when i just asked him about martial arts his words were" what do you think they do in martial arts hug each eachother" bloody men
