			Took my two girls (6 and 2) to the playground today. 
At some point my older daughter came to me and said another kid had pushed her, so naturally I told her to push him back harder, and if he kept bothering her, she could punch him in the face.
I'm the first to preach non-violence, but if someone else starts, as far as I'm concerned she can kick their ass.
As I sent her back to play, another dad approached me to lecture about enabling violence and said I should teach my daughter to find a grown-up instead of hitting back.
I tried to dismiss him, but he kept going on about the risks of hitting back and that kids who hit back have a 60% chance of becoming violent adults.
I told him there's a higher risk in lecturing strangers about how to parent their kids. He seemed confused, so I explained: "If you don't leave me alone now and start minding your own kid, you have a 100% chance of getting punched in the face. But you're not allowed to hit me back, you have to find a grown-up".
Turns out he was the father of the kid who initially pushed my daughter.
The only thing that is worse than kids who aren't mine is their parents.
