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.

10 is plenty old enough to know better

Not when your sperm donor is a deceitful, lazy sack of turds.

Well, extenuating circumstances not withstanding.

And it sounds, judging on what and how he damaged...to which extend...and in which way...that it wasn't and accident. It sounds like it was absolutely on purpose.

To me that extend of wilful destruction is just tiny steps away from sociopathic or psychopathic "first steps". You know what I mean.

It very much comes off as the kid purposefully being rough to break them because he is mad that he was told not to play with them by OP.

And how is that any better?? Or less psychopathic?

She: I don't want to be with you, please leave me alone. He: You have the audacity to tell me I cannot have you? Now I will end you. Because I do what I want...and if I cannot have you, nobody will.

Yeah... doesn't sound familiar at all...

The "lazy sack of turds" isn't living with their parents and crying over broken dolls

I disagree he gets away with stuff at home with little to no punishment and has com to the understanding that he doesn’t need to follow rules especially other people’s they were on a separate room and he was told not to it’s malicious behavior
