Just tell him to knock it off and explain why that nonsense is hurtful when repeated day after day. If he has a brain he will stop. If he doesn't stop you have bigger problems.

You never made fart noises or something like that to girls when you were 9 or 10 years old?


Yeah I did, but not for four months to the point that she told the teacher repeatedly. And if my parents had heard about it, I would have been in some shite. My dad wouldn't have thought it was hilarious that I told the teacher I didn't care.

Damn, OP and his kid are getting absolutely trashed in here


I didn't post this in the OP expecting otherwise. It's actually pretty funny the way people comment without a clue. I'm the World's Best Dad, and I have the coffee cup to prove it.

Fact is, the boy is going to be in some shite for picking on a girl to the point that the teacher felt it necessary to send a note home. And I imagine he is worried sick about what will happen when I get home.

That depends. Did you whoop his arse, tell him to stop acting like an a-hole, and quietly laugh to yourself?

Or did you openly laugh and not beat his arse?

One makes you an a-hole, the other makes you a bad parent. Whichever you prefer.

Not the impression you give in the OP.

Your son sounds like a real douche bag. That or he's being abused at home and acting out at school.

Yes mine too. When I was in school it wouldn't have gone on for 4 months. My teacher and/or principal would have whooped my arse way before then. Then my parents would have taken over. A lot different these days unfortunately.
His kid needs a lesson in respect and peer pressure.

Finally. Someone who gets it.

There is a difference. Neither is ok, but being a bully is violence or threatening violence. Frankly, he probably thinks she is cute and is doing what 10 year old boys do - acting like a dipshit.

First, I would want to know why he was doing what he was doing. Then, I would tell him to stop being an a-hole, even if the girl smells you don't have to be a dick about it.

I know. I was going for light-hearted and whimsical - a father's burdens with a little scamp of a kid, pulling pig tails and stuffing frogs in girls' lunch boxes, and all that sort of thing.

Not even close, apparently.

Would you laugh if your son was the target of this bullying?

I would expect my son or my daughter to deal with name-calling and people acting like assholes on their own and to have a thick skin about it.

That said, he needs to not act like an a-hole. All someone had to do is tell him to cut it out. He's not in the least bit defiant or disrespectful, despite the perceived lack of concern on his part.

I wonder if the OP's position on this issue would be different if it were his daughter being bullied?

tl/dr: OP & son lack normal amount of empathy.
