Who said parenting was easy eh?? 
Do you let them go on the streets and fight like hooligans to gain place in today's society??
OR do you teach them properly and hope to god other parents will be teaching theirs the same so that society will finally get " normality " if thats what we can call it?? |
Confrontation is better avoided in most cases - but your boys should be taught how to defend themselves if needed.
Despite your fears, slinky, please remember that things have been infinitely worse in the past. Even a cursory reading of English history will confirm that.
