No matter how satirical this may be, most of my childhood i felt like shit because my parents would tell me to defend myself was not only bad, but evil. Before i got THE girlfriend i was bullied like hell, and i can count on one hand the times i bothered to fight back. Back in those days people (most people, not my folks) were sane, and they taught their children to punch the bully. Not my hippie parents and their bitch ass approach to undoing a child. Every father's day i can't help but think how much of a fucking pussy my dad is compared to me. It gives me a twisted sense of superiority to know i bested my father just by existing unapologetically and believing the things i do now. Good stuff!

Good natured rough play combined with treating your kids like people rather than impediments is the ultimate combo.
