Eldest minipeeler accidentally kicked Miniest full in the face while sparring last night. He was mortified and ran to his room upset; she thought he was going for a high kick and basically ducked straight into it. She’s ok after a little blood nose but I keep telling them to knock it off, “starts in laughter ends in tears” kind of thing, someone will get hurt, not enough room in a small crowded living room etc. I’m only their mother, what do I know‽ My siblings were from my parents previous marriages and almost adults by the time I was born, so I’m not used to the mucking around casual violence of children growing up together, and sometimes feel emotionally ill-equipt to parent it
