Yes. Kids don't need to live in a bubble. They are durable. If they weren't they'd never make it.
People that don't let their kids get a little rowdy raise scared little wimps.

The only thing off limits is their heads (because they usually sit on/lay on/wrestle high). Everything from the neck down is fair game.

No way, it's not fun unless I make his nose bleed a little

I love the heli-moms chasing their kids around the ball park with hand sanitizer. You can tell which ones are first or only children. They get over that shite pretty quick with the second one. By the third, they don't know where the kid is half the time until they show up dirty, bloody and happy.

If you're raising your kids right, this should be one of the most purchased products in your house:

Punching/slapping is no big deal. I'm more just trying to prevent suffocation. Once they get older and can fight evenly, good luck to them.

I have 3 boys, 5 and under. I don't really have a choice. They are going to do it regardless of what I say.
My middle son that is 3 and a half is so bad about it and is so scraped up that my wife has been worried we would get a call from child services.
I let them go outside and have fun. I let them make choices they come to regret due to the pain. But so long as I don't see them about to kill themselves or hurt themselves bad, I let them be.

My 20 month old loves climbing on the furniture right now, my wife always freaks out and wants me to get him down, but that makes him think its a game, so he does it more, i told her the new approach is to let him do it until he gets bored or hurt, then he'll stop

Absolutely. We have two boys, 7 and 10, that roughhouse with each other and often come back inside with scrapes and bruises, dirt on their knees, stuff like that .... We discourage video games and electronics more than anything, we encourage boys to act like boys
That is what boys that age are supposed to be doing

My wife was the same with the first. Now if one hurts the other, she encourages pay back in a big way.
Yours will come around.
Now the Mother in law........well thats a different story especially if they didn't have boys of their own like mine. She drives me nuts with the hovering to the point I have to yell at her to make her stop. Talking calmly doesn't work and makes the situation worse.

Wait, what?
Those will be the sickest kids ever. Those are the ones will all the "allergies" who can't bear to be in the same room where a peanut was once mentioned.

He's not our first, the 3 year old is our oldest, the 20 month old is our second one
they 3 year old didnt have nearly as long of a climbing phase as his little brother so i think thats why she freaks out
she doesnt really worry about them in the backyard hitting each other with sticks and shite, she just thinks if he falls off the couch hes gonna break his neck
i calmly remind her that studies have shows there's only a 20% chance of that happening so not to worry

I got incredibly lucky here
my mother in law is the shite
she and i get along great and she actually usually takes my side in disputes over my wife
drives my wife crazy though

I was at the park the other day....it was a local park that had rocks around the slides and stuff as opposed to the foam.
So my kid really is the anti-bully. I've raised him to love people, and he's got such a good heart.... But not to allow a bully to operate around him....
So anyway he's playing with some kids and some other kids come up and start throwing rocks at everyone. I see it all happen, it's an instant rock war. Kids are screaming and hiding and running and these two new arrivals are just terrorizing the playground. They get to my kid and realize he throws harder than they do and they decide to stop throwing rocks..
Nothing needed to be said, no corrective actions needed. They learned that their behavior led to consequence...
So anyway their moms must see them running away and that was my cue to leave before they could helicopter on over.

Schools are setting boys up to fail nowadays too. They teach in ways that girls thrive at while boys are marginalized. Boys do not respond to Power Point slide lectures and abstract discussions at a young age. They need to be active and hands-on. Then they get hammered when they are bored and act up. Kid either winds up flagged as a troublemaker or whacked out on "ADHD meds" for doing what he is biologically programmed to do.

My 3yo recently fell off of a counter head first where his forehead hit first and his neck bent backwards. Like folded over. Freaked me the frick out. He got up and cried for a minute and was back at it. Kids are made of rubber.

I remind my wife that the younger they are the more cartilage they're made up of
Evolution did it that way on purpose
Make them nearly indestructible while they learn how to walk and shite

You have to keep boys busy in order to teach them. That's a much harder way to teach. In baseball, if you explain how to turn a 6-4-3 double play, you can watch their eyes glaze over. Show it to them, and they will have it down pat in 20 minutes of practice. 23yo Suzie Sorostitute who got her Child Psychology degree and teaching certificate isn't capable of that, or willing to put the effort into it.
