Dr. Killz,
My son got suspended from school today for punching a bully in the face. His mother wants to punish him, but I say NO. The kid has been fricking with him consistently and today hit him in the back of the head while he was talking to a girl. Thoughts?

Take that kid out for ice cream. Reinforce that his standing up for himself was the right thing to do regardless of the consequences and he'll never be bullied again for the remainder of his life.

Women may protest what I'm about to say and they have the right.
But, here's how I'd respond as a man...
The school motto "it takes two to fight" is bullshite, but I understand the idea behind it.
Therefore, let your wife punish him for throwing the first punch.
However, after she punishes him, you should take him on a drive to the grocery store or out in the garage...any place away from your wife so that you can have some father and son alone time.
Tell him that you're proud of him and that he should never allow people to bully him. Give him a high five or pat him on the back and then ask him for details. Encourage him to talk about the fight...allow him to brag. This experience is an integral part of his journey to manhood.
Make certain to ask him if he understands why his mother punished him. He probably will understand. If not, simply explain that regardless of whether or not he started the fight, it truly takes two to fight.
The decision to be courageous can also lead to severe consequences. Encourage him to always be courageous no matter the consequences.

PS. You should be proud of your son.
