I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The whole demon-not-all-evil thing troubles me: it has the potential to upend the show's worldview, but we won't know that till we get more information.Oh, I expect she's evil. I just don't think evil all follows exactly the same game plan. But I think she's evil.

What is even happening?
Ben: "Only bitches send a grownup."
Dean: (impressed) "You're not wrong."
Uh oh. Nice parenting, Dean.
I don't know. That's the kind of thing I find myself wanting to let my children know. Parenting is the job of rearing children to be adults, but some children need extra help in mastering childhood.

Because books.

My "uh oh" was for teaching him how to take the kid down, though. Which, honestly? Not always a bad thing. But probably not the best when it's a) not your kid, and b) your very first instinct.

He'd borrowed a toy and would not give it back - at an age when you are old enough to know better. I'd say at that point your choice is:
1)fight
2)send in a grownup
Cause he is not going to be talked into giving it back. It is not just that he wants the gameboy or whatever it was. He is enjoying the bullies thrill in humiliation and taking away someone else's stuff.

And I think Ben really taught him a lesson he needed to learn.

In a comparable situation for real kids in real life, I'd still say beating the kid up would be the right thing to do. Even if he was tougher than you and you got beat up it would still be the right thing to do as long as you got some good enough licks to make sure he bled a little, so he was not so quick to choose you as a target the next time. I'd probably make an awful parent.

Right. Of course, having an adult sitting there watching it happen is all wrong.

When it comes to bullies I've got issues.... I learned the hard way and after years of suffering that you have to fight back no matter what. My parents were into pacifism while I'm growing up, so it took me longer than your average bear to learn about the whole fighting back thing. (My Dad did not actually believe in pacifism, but deferred to my Mom on child raising. Frankly, unless a kid is being raised amid The Gentle People, I don't think kids should be taught non-violence until they are old enough to be in a situation where violence is not routine, and old enough to be skeptical of what they are taught.)
