Today, my son warned me that unless I get his older brother to stop picking on him, he’d do it himself. I didn’t take it seriously, until I got home from work to find he'd had beaten his brother unconscious. His justification was that he's warned me he’d "do it himself.“ FML

Today, my son has a habit of picking on his little brother when in a bad mood. I heard a massive crash and found him out cold with his little brother holding a homemade slingshot and a bunch of rocks. Apparently, in school they just learned about David and Goliath. FML

Today, I found out why my son has been working out and taking martial arts classes. It was so he could beat his stepbrother up and put him in the hospital, as revenge for stealing his secret cash supply, over £4000. I'm too old and too tired for this. FML

Today, my son finally stood up to his bully and gave him a smashing that he damn well deserved. I’m desperate to tell him how proud I am, but my wife won’t let me because “we’re not raising a thug” and after 17 years of marriage, I’ve learned arguing with her is pointless. FML

Today, I yelled at my oldest son for picking his little brother up by the throat. Only to then be yelled at my my mother-in-law for hurting his feelings. FML

Today, I got home to my son with a bruised face and my daughter locked in her room. Apparently, when she got home from work, her unemployed brother asked her when she was going to cook dinner, so she punched him in the head. He’s so entitled that he actually thought he’d get sympathy from me. FML

Today, I apparently didn’t teach my son the difference between defending himself from bullies and knocking out the bully's teeth, breaking his nose, cracking his ribs, and grinding his fingers under his boot until the bone splintered. Yes, the cops are involved and my ex-wife blames me, of course. FML

Today, I had to pick my son up from school after he beat the crap out of another student. The words that made him go nuts were apparently, "You mad, bro?" FML

Unfortunate coincidences

Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML

Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML

Today, I spent two hours convincing my 3-year-old son that he can't poop on his 4-month-old brother out of retaliation for the baby pooping on him. He did it anyway. FML

You couldn't have done anything about it. That's not how boys work. You can only hope the older boy stops being an asshole after the beatdown, and this is not the beginning of a revenge cycle.

it was a perfectly legit justification. your youngest asked you to step up and be a parent and you failed him. you should have stepped in before it ever got to that point. put your phone down and be a parent

YDI, parenting should also account on teaching your kids to defend other than to rely on an adult. in most instances adults dont handle it properly allowing it to continue.

Reminds me of the CRIMINAL MINDS episode "Elephant's Memory" where a bullied kid lashed out violently at his tormentors. When a humiliating video came out and the ones who set it up weren't punished, the kid was told he'd have to "sort it out for himself." Dr. Reid, who had been bullied himself, replied, "Yeah. Right now he's sorting it out for himself WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE."

When a kid complains of bullying you deal with it! Vdm for him having a parent who doesn't take him seriously.

while I agree you should have stepped in. how old we talking and define "picking on" because this may have been self defense or this might be a massive violent over reaction and your son needs counciling . brothers pick on eachother growing up its what we do, I have 2 brothers. and there is a point it stops being "learn to shrug it off" and becomes outright bullying. either way you need to figure out your role as a parent because this could get much worse.

OP, I do not have kids, nor do I want them, yet I am a better parent than you. Your younger/youngest son gets a pass, you and your eldest get a hefty bill.
