My sisters daughter (7) keeps hitting my daughter (5)?

[Anonymous]

My sister does nothing about it but put her daughter in the corner. My daughter may be younger but she’s bigger than her cousin, am I wrong to teach my daughter to defend herself?

Not to mention, they’re living under my roof and any time I correct my niece, my sister gets upset with me… so I essentially told me daughter that if anyone hits her, she has my permission to hit them tf back.. how’s my niece gonna learn to keep her hands to her fuckin self?

I'd say its fine.

So long as your daughter doesn't do what my niece did to her elementary school bully. (She apparently made her bully need to ice their jewels.) XD. Granted I didn't feel too bad after she had come repeatedly home with bloody noses. I do feel a little guilty for teaching her how to fight. But I guess you could say I didn't find it very amusing to discover her bully was a 5th grader picking on a 1st grader.

As to the damage all I'll say is I've never heard of them getting to small grapefruit sized. Probably was a mistake to let her watch American Football with the family XD.

Living with you must be difficult for your daughter she never gets a break from the bullying. I don't think you're wrong teaching her to defend herself, if she doesn't the bullying will get worse.
