My wife's sister has been taking this boxing class and she comes over and I let her take body shots on me, because i don't want to get hit in the face. Is my daughter too young to realize we are just play fighting?

Hi Two, First off,Is this okay with your wife!! If she has no probably with it go ahead, and help the sister out.I don't think it's a good ideal to let your 7yrs.old daughter watch you 2 play fighting or real fighting.Kids are soooo much different these days,and could think it would be okay to start a fight with anybody.She could also think you are doing something wrong with moms sister.Specially,taking pictures of you.It's not a good ideal to have your daughter in the room with you 2...

At first, I thought you meant alcohol body shots. lol. But now I get what your saying. And I don't think it's a big deal. Boxing is considered a sport. Milions of people do it and/or watch it. As long as she's not really hurting you, I think your daughter is definately old enough to understand what's going on. My brothers and my father always wrestle in front of my son and my nephew and have been since they were babies. Some peolpe just like to play rough.

I think it's wrong, because your teaching your daughter that violence is ok. Kids watch what adults do, and pick up things that we may not think that they see. Also, being that it's your sister in law, also tells me that it's not right. Does your wife know about this?
Because if not, she may be very upset ablout it.
I have 3 kids, ages 8, 4 & 2, and I have to watch alot of the things I do or say around the kids, because if not, they will be copying things that they shouldn't.
I agree with one of the other answers, maybe you need to be punched in the crotch.

I don't think it's bad. Especially if you can teach the 7 year old some moves for self protection. She's old enough to understand about protecting yourself.
It seems like by some of the answers that people aren't reading your statement under the question!!

Err... it's like letting your daughter watch an R-rated film only worse because this time her dad is 'acting' in it. Kids tend to copy whatever their elders do, and she might very well copy you when she is with other kids as you are her father figure and everything you do seems to be the right thing to her

I totally thought you meant DRINKING body shots, where people like balance a shot glass in the other person's naval or between their boobs or something. What a hoot!

its hard to tell these days what is to young for what age i guess the best thing to do is sit your daughter down and explain to her that you guys really are not fighting and see what she says or think.i think these days depending on the situation you should use your better judgement

I feel sorry for your mother, your wife, and your daughter. Tell your sister in law to punch you in the crotch.

I would sit down and talk to your daughter and make sure that she understands and if she doesn't then I would do it when shes not around.

i do not thinck that it is bad as long as things do not get out of hand or maybe if you are that concerned about it just ask her if she knows that you two are just playing and not really fighting i thinck she is old enough to understand good luck
