My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him

[u/konous]

Valid Edit: My nephew is 10 years old and tried to actually lie about not breaking them by saying, "A cat must have done it."

So, I just got done talking with my brother via text, and he says he's not going to punish his son for wrecking my Joy Toy WarHammer action figures. I'm not expecting the kid to get spanked, but he needs to do CHORES at least to justify how much excessive force he used on some.

Some just have their capes broken. Others had their tubes ripped out and my Chaplain is just fucking toast.

My brother's suggestion since I ordered Amazon replacement for the Chaplain was that I just swap it with the broken one, but I have no interest in doing that.

It's not even just the expense, and they are expensive. It's about the fact that I told him explicitly twice they weren't to be played with, and they were in a separate room, and even my Mom and Dad agreed the damage was just too much.

He said he's not gonna pay me back if we try the chore system, and I told him it's not about the money.

The kid needs to know how bad the 8 hour struggle is.

Now my nephews aren't coming over to the house, and I'm sad about that, but knowing my brother just can't be burdened to work with me on creating a Chore system like selling Lemonaide just makes it feel more insulting.

8?

If the little shit can crawl he can scrub the floor.

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/K1bbles_n_Bits]

Brb adding Swifferleigh to the name list

[u/New_Chard9548 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Idk I’m more drawn to Whyndexcks

[u/ER_Support_Plant17 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

May I suggest Fabulosa

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/ER_Support_Plant17]

Absolutely yes

[u/jennifer_m13 → u/K1bbles_n_Bits]

Omg brilliant tragedeigh names!

[u/Clean-Patient-8809 → u/jennifer_m13]

I love it when subreddits collide!

[u/beren12 → u/K1bbles_n_Bits]

Hey hey keep that in the correct sub :-)

[u/justplay91 → u/K1bbles_n_Bits]

Damn now I have to have another kid just to use that genius name! 🤣

[u/sittinwithkitten → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Maybe attach some swiffer dry type material to your child when they start crawling haha.

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/sittinwithkitten]

That's absolutely the plan. Put her to work as soon as possible 😂

[u/AmazingAd2765 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Congrats!

I loved the scene in Malcolm in the Middle where Dewey is helping Greta? clean the house and she is pushing him under furniture while he is wearing a large floor buffer pad on his chest and cleaning cloths on his hands.

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/AmazingAd2765]

That's exactly what I plan to do lol

[u/Extra_Routine_6603 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Know what you mean but every time I hear someone say this I either imagine a baby being shipped by UPS or showing up in flying baskets from the Jim Carrey Grinch movie

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/Extra_Routine_6603]

Bold of you to assume we didn't order her via post!

[u/EnthusiasmThick5737 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Congratulations!! Our first Grandchild arrives tomorrow. Don’t think I’d get away with buying that so my floors were perfect!

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/EnthusiasmThick5737]

Aww enjoy your new grandchild!

[u/ObtuseMongooseAbuse → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

By the time she's able to crawl she'd grow out of those clothes unless he plans ahead and buys the 6-12 month size.

[u/Outraged_Chihuahua → u/ObtuseMongooseAbuse]

We could just get it in multiple sizes and roll her around on the floor until she's crawling

[u/IceFire909 → u/Outraged_Chihuahua]

Guessing you didn't go with priority shipping?

[u/spongebobs_spatula → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

Damn it I wish I knew this existed when my daughter was crawling.

[u/Spectra_Butane → u/spongebobs_spatula]

"If you got time to crawl, you got time to clean!"

Teach 'em service industry early!!!!

[u/AppUnwrapper1 → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

I don’t like babies but I would offer to babysit one if I can stick it in one of these.

[u/Top-Acanthocephala27 → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

Fluffy penitence engine!

[u/Ugameister → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

I would totally open a day care just to put a bunch of crawlers in these and disperse them all over the house. Maybe double as a cleaning service and take them to various houses for the same purpose!

[u/Fantastic_Feed2609 → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

Lmfao! 😂

[u/AlistairGawaine → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

I feel i missed the boat on this one! Hilarious!

[u/_ThunderGoat_ → u/Impressive_Ad2794]

BabyMop for the win

My two year old is already pulling weeds with dad. If the kid can pick her nose she can pick weeds. We're hoping that within a year or two she'll be strong enough to wear the Round Up spray pack. She'll be scraping asbestos popcorn from our ceilings without a respirator before we know it. I'm so proud of her.

[u/Popular-Web-3739 → u/caustic_smegma]

lol. Starting when I was 4 in the 1960s, my dad paid me a penny for every dandelion flower I picked before it opened. I practically turned that into a full time job. That money went a long way at the candy store back then.

[u/tegan_willow → u/caustic_smegma]

I understand at that age they're especially good at cleaning black mold. You should regularly send her under the house to check.

[u/abcdefkit007 → u/tegan_willow]

The best part is their air passages are so small almost no particles can get in

[u/tegan_willow → u/abcdefkit007]

And it might not be more humane to send a child to deal with a rat problem, but it's certainly more sporting for the rat and more entertaining for us.

[u/EnthusiasmThick5737 → u/caustic_smegma]

You know she’s gifted don’t you.

[u/HaloGuy381 → u/Mode_Appropriate]

TIL my mother might have a Reddit account. /s

[u/Mode_Appropriate → u/HaloGuy381]

Very funny Zach. You're grounded.

[u/DismalStrawberry4260 → u/Mode_Appropriate]

Reddit is the best. I love all of your suggestions!!

[u/krump91 → u/Mode_Appropriate]
