belt this kid!
Of course I won't but I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do next.
Ds2 is 3. The other kid is 3 in July. 9 months apart. He's the child of a good friend.
They don't really get on. They used to clout each other and scream at each other. I've told ds2 to stop and he has.
But this other kid thumps him at every single opportunity. He gets mildly told off by his mother but he just laughs and refuses to say sorry.
I've asked her to watch her ds more closely at drop off and pick up (our older dcs are same age at school), I've rowed with her about it, I've told the kid off myself, caught his hand mid punch and stroked it, saying it's not nice, please stop it. He just lunges for my ds2 again.
The boy is really cute, younger than my ds and everyone in his family finds it faintly amusing. What can they do? He's only a tiny kid and his mother says its only my ds he hits. Which isn't true as I've seen wounds on his brother's face from the little one.
He starts at the same nursery next week and one of his sessions is the same as my ds2. I've asked ds2's session to be moved.
What else can I do? I'm getting pretty cheesed off with it as it's constant attacks.

AIBU?
to be tempted to advise my ds2 to hit back once and for all?
