Last night we had a party where the crazy disney mom and her violent and mean 6 year old son came. The whole time he was hitting or kicking disney mom's BF (who is our good friend) until he thought to try it on DH.

I should mention at this point, DH and I own a martial arts school and last night's party was to celebrate some of our students testing for their next rank. The BF's one of our instructors. The kid's mother is also one of our students.

When this kid came and punched DH while his back was turned (I guess to see if DH could "defend himself"), DH paused, turned around, and looked and him and said, "You really don't want to do that. I hit back. Can you take a punch?"

Now, at a family gathering, DH once pinned the 8 year old son of his cousin and then put him in the bathroom until his dad came to get him because the kid would not stop hitting him even after being told multiple times to stop. DH and his cousin are close, and his cousin actually made his kid apologize, so DH is serious about restraining even a child if they get physically out of line, because he believes this is an important lesson to learn before they get into the real world and get fucked up because they decided to lay their hands on the wrong person.

His mom is standing RIGHT there and I go up to her and am like, "XX, DH is serious, he'll teach *kid's name* a physical lesson if he has to." and then relayed the above story. The mom just brushes me off (she doesn't like me much but tries to pretend to be friendly since she has the hots for DH.)

Well, I warned ya. Don't blame me if your kid learns the hard way you don't lay your hands on another human being without expecting retaliation.

Given unspoken permission now by the body language and lack of action by his mother, this kid starts his full on assault of DH. It doesn't get very far. DH physically corners him and says in his best threatening voice, "*Kid's name" Don't you EVER lay your hands on me again. Do you understand?" Kid's scared now--he's apparently never gotten corrected for this. His mom is a bit too I guess, but finally DH gets the kid to apologize and promise never to hit him again (personally, I think he should have said for him to never hit another person again, but whatever.)

Today we saw our friend (the BF) and I started talking to him about it. He says his GF doesn't see this behavior, like she is literally blind to it unless someone says something, and he says it's not his place to say anything. I'm like, dude, you got sucker punched last week in the face by a 6 year old and then repeatedly assaulted last night by the same kid. What do you mean it's not your place to say anything?!?!?

SMH.
