Today, the kids got in a fight so my wife told our son boys shouldn’t hit girls, even if his sister is older and bigger. What happened next? He put on his sisters dress, claimed he’s a girl today, then hit his sister in the face with an iPad blacking her eye. I have no idea how to parent this. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter threw my stepson down the stairs. When I asked what the hell was going on, she claimed she was just demonstrating her willingness to seriously injure him the next time she catches him in her underwear drawer or in her room at all. I’m not sure which direction to parent in here. FML
Today, my uncle picked up a tissue box and threw it at my sister for fun. My sister got mad and yeeted the box at me. I reacted with the same action, but she lost her crap and kicked and punched me. When I reported the incident to my parents, I get berated and my sister got away with it. FML
Today, I got home to my son with a bruised face and my daughter locked in her room. Apparently, when she got home from work, her unemployed brother asked her when she was going to cook dinner, so she punched him in the head. He’s so entitled that he actually thought he’d get sympathy from me. FML
Today, my sister punched me in the face. My dad was actually annoyed with me when I told him. He said I'll never be a "real man" if I can't take a hit from a girl. FML
Today, I had to console my bawling 6-year-old son and explain that his sister was lying when she told him that when boys in our family turn 13, they turn into girls. I'm not sure who disappoints me more right now. FML
Today, my wife picked a fight with a guy twice my size, then expected me to “man up and teach the bitch a lesson.” I’m not insane so I of course refused to fight, then she locked me out of the house for embarrassing her in front of her sisters. I want a frisking divorce. FML
Today, my 6 year-old son and his cousin were play boxing. For fun, I taught them some real moves. I guess my son is a natural but my nephew got hit so hard he fell over and broke his arm. Now I have to explain this to my wife and her sister. FML
Today, my son was getting jumped by four boys. My daughter came outta nowhere like freakin John Cena and started rag dolling those little punks. Instead of being thankful and grateful that his sister saved his ass, he decided to complain that she made him look like weak. FML
Today, what started as a family gathering turned into an all-out brawl. I saw my son’s wife punch him, so I hit her. Her mom and sister jumped me. My husband was pulling them off when the other husband thought he was attacking them and jumped in, so my son jumped in as well. We won, at least. FML
Today, a fight broke out between my 21 year old sister and our 6 year old brother. I tried to intervene, only to end up getting battered to shit in the process. According to my sister, he's going to hell for eating her candy. FML

Start here: Be the patent you needed growing up add to it all the things your parents did that you believe was right. Talk things through with your wide as others said.

Don’t teach your son that “boys shouldn’t hit girls”, teach them both “anyone ready to throw a fist should expect one back”.

Work on why he needed to dress like a girl in order to hit his older sister.

Indeed. If he felt dressing up like a girl made it possible to defend himself, then maybe you should take a hard look at the sister...

your wife said boys shouldn’t hit girls. start with this because your wife has a toxic mindset if believing women can hit men without consequences.

No. According to the stereotype, boys are more likely to hit girls than the other way around. The problem is that she’s reinforcing the stereotype by telling her son she shouldn’t hit his sister because she’s a girl — he shouldn’t hit his sister because he shouldn’t hit anyone. The sister obviously shouldn’t hit back, but that doesn’t seem to be part of the problem here.

He assaulted his sister in a premeditated manner. He needs to go to military school.

Why weren't you addressing WHY he was fighting? Model healthy communication and conflict resolution. He obviously felt dismissed by your wife. If you can't model healthy relationships then get everyone in therapy to learn.

I mean... Kudos for your son for thinking outside the box on this one. 😂 But yeah, you need to address the underlying issues of why they aren't getting along and teach them BOTH how to solve their problems without resorting to hitting each other.
