I hate Bm

Let me first say SS is ridiculously small. When we meet new people they think he's 5 and he wears a kids size 5 or extra small. He's 8. All Bms kids are extremely small.

He also punches our dog if you recall.

SS just informed me Bm's boyfriend has decided he wants to enroll all his kids in boxing. Including SS.

Now this is nothing to get upset about because Bm is a part time waitress and boyfriend has no job so they will never enroll any of their kids in anything except welfare but it seriously pisses me off they would suggest this to SS.

SS punches our dog and your other kid got pulled from preschool for trying to pretend to be a WWE fighter with the other kids.

Not to mention these kids are all exceptionally small. Pick a sport that plays to their strengths like running or soccer. Why would you suggest a sport where they will get beat the heck up??!!?!

I am seeing how sociopaths are raised. Well done Bm and moron boyfriend. I seriously hate them both so much.

boxing and all martial arts teach discipline as well as great exercise no matter what you size it.  this will be good for him.  and besides HATE is such a strong word, you really shouldn't use it the kids will pick up on your anomosity

A few years ago my son was having some serious anger management issues.  He would scream, turn red and throw things.  These episodes would last for nearly 20 minutes and were terrifying at times.  He was already in counseling and these outbursts were still happening.  On a whim I put him in karate and within a month the outbursts stopped.  The discipline he learned at karate helped him so much.  We haven't had any problems since then, and he's gone on to play football.  I think karate is a great tool for kids.

I agree with PP who are suggesting martial arts.  But boxing seems a little weird to me, especially with the aggression issues your SS already has.

We've already enrolled him in tae kwon do which he absolutely loves. That teaches self respect and discipline. She wants to teach him to punch and hit which for a kid who already shows symptoms of not having empathy for living things, I do not love. I do hate her. Sorry but she messes with a kid I love and I have no respect for her.

And yeah I would never say I hate her to him. But if I did not vent to Dh or on this board I might explode. So I am just venting, but it does seriously anger me. She has zero common sense. None.

I can't imagine that there is a place that teaches kids that young how to box. So stupid.

It helps with an overly hyper kid or one that suffers from ADHD or a compulsive kid. Boxing may not be his nitch but martial arts or anouther active sport may be good for him. I have my hyper, compulsive 6 year old in soccer and bowling during the winter months. It has helped him gain confidance and burns off a lot of his energy.

Actually, boxing might be just the thing for such a small child. It will teach him how to defend himself against bullies who will be inclined to pick on him especially due to his small stature. Also, boxing is all about discipline and training, mind and body. It may help him to get over other behavioral issues if he is instilled with a sense of pride, confidence and self-esteem that come from such discipline.
