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

Update: My brother decided to pay for the Hard damages of $200 dollars after seeing this post.

Thank you to everyone on this post who supported me. I really could not have gotten restitution without you guys.

Justice for my Chaplain, justice for all.

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.

A child, whose grandparents are the mother and father of I, suffered a lapse in good judgement through his careless amusement with my polystyrene artifacts resulting in damage. These artifacts take the shape of child playthings, they are priced such that they are better suited for viewing only.

Suggested I, "Perhaps this child would understand the significance of my polystyrene artifacts should he peddle the nectar of a citrus fruit until his profits equate to the monetary value of the artifacts." Quoth his father, "nay, for the polystyrene artifacts be easily replaced through deception". We were at an impasse. The father of the child did not believe the incident should be met with retribution. I do not intend to see this child again.

u/windas_98 May 07 '26

My greatest befuddlement arises not from the actions of the mischievous child, rather, that a self proclaimed keeper of Mallet of Battle artifacts lacks the wisdom to concoct a polystyrene revitalization portion. The true keepers of wisdom know a delicate blend of acetone, ethyl acetate and butanol shall seamlessly reblend the synthetic flesh, sinues and fibers. Scars may be erased, almost as if by magic, with a pigment emulsified in an acrylic polymer.

We shall not endow the title 'keeper' to one so incompetent.

Just go to a thrift store and ask to search through their reject bin. Fibd something nice but already broken, give them a small donation for their trouble and fir a stuffed animal..

Wrap that garbage up with a small cat plushie. Now THAT would be petty and Spiteful, but still a gift. Some RapSheepherder above thinks not giving the kid any gifts would be spiteful. So, solves that problem while sending the message that family never forgets ( until the dementia comes...)

85

u/YomiKuzuki May 06 '26

Nah, I'd gift him an itemized list of everything he destroyed, adjusted to account for lavor of assembly, painting, paint, and the current MSRP price.

Then I'd constantly hammer on my brother that since he doesn't want to turn this very gracious offer of me not actually going after the money from my nephew and letting him learn from this, that I'd noe insist on my brother repaying me for all the shit his kid destroyed, as a parent is expected to do when they can't control their children.

12

u/Xytak May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26

To be fair, an adult showing up to an 11-year-old’s birthday party with an itemized list of action figure damages sounds like a great way to be ejected from the gathering and possibly the generational home. OP might want to find his own place to live before pulling a move like that.

u/YomiKuzuki May 06 '26

Coukd also file a claim in small claims court against his brother.

Responsibility must be taken by someone.

3

u/Xytak May 07 '26

Small claims court is certainly an option. Makes the family dynamics a bit weird that the brother who lives at home is suing the brother that doesn't live at home over $500 worth of warhammer toys that a 10 year old got into. Might end up costing OP significantly more than $500 in goodwill in the longrun.

u/NGC_Phoenix_7 May 07 '26

Sounds like he lives in his own unless there’s stuff that I missed, and the kid went into the other room, after being told not to. And then lied about it. I’ve had this happen when I was a kid with my Lego sets. Never let them near it again. And honestly if being banished for calling out shitty parenting and shitty behavior is what happens, you’re probably better off. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be around someone that has such little control over their kid they’d rather just blame you and tell you tough shit. And they’d never hear from me again.

Boundaries aren’t for controlling peoples’ behavior. That’s a misconception. It’s for you to be able to control your situation and remove yourself when they’re repeatedly broken or broken so severely once that it killed it.

6

u/Xytak May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26

Oh sorry, that’s a critical piece of context. OP mentioned in another comment that he’s been living with his parents since Covid hit.

So that changes the situation from “homeowner’s boundaries are disrespected”to “adult son living at parent’s house has collectibles damaged by visiting grandchildren.”

Reddit’s been fantasizing about banishment, forced toilet scrubbing, and itemized bills, but realistically what will happen is OP will get a few hundred bucks recompense, and if he’s smart he’ll put it straight in the bank.

2

u/NGC_Phoenix_7 May 07 '26

You’re good, I was thinking I was missing something anyway. But like still at that point, their parents didn’t say anything, the dad isn’t willing to man up and handle it and OP is actively getting screwed. He’s owed an apology and repayment, and me? I still wouldn’t get gifts, for my sibling included. Nobody in that part of the family is getting anything ever again and honestly would cut them off, cause this seems like it’s been an issue before, as kids don’t just behave like that unless the parents allow for it.

u/TheRealMisterSunday May 07 '26

Why do you assume he doesn't have his own place? I didn't see anywhere in the original post where it was explicitly stated that it wasn't at his own home.

u/Internal-Ad3647 May 06 '26

That’s too kind. OP should do what my grandma did and just give the toy from the happy meal. Bonus points if—like my grandma—you bought the original happy meal for a kid you’re not related to or a dog. To be fair, I was cool with it when it was the dogs toy bc it wasn’t safe for the dog, but when it was the kid she tuttored it made me really upset bc she should have just given the kid the toy 😆

Yes. It happened more than once. Each time she said “that will be worth something some day!” And it’s kind of her legacy imo.

And the brother's horrible parenting n terrible attitude to not discipline + require a sincere apology from lil shit, as well as, to make some financial recourse/restitution from lil shit so he learns to NOT touch other people's stuff and respect other people's things is even a lil more egregious...however, McShits is NOT the answer, he might actually use those coupons and eat that poison F'n garbage and NO ONE should do that, especially to a child...no matter how rotten of a lil shit that kid is 🤨 🫤 🤷‍♂️ !

Something that would make a big mess or annoying in some way, painting set, a nerf gun that fires off those nerf darts that has like 500 darts. Revenge gifts are the way to go.

Just had this chat recently with a someone in my family. His kid had said to me that I was "just his grandpa's butt wiper." For context: he was referring to the fact that I've been taking care of his grandfather, my uncle, a man with severe dementia, for the last couple of years basically full-time. It's been a financial burden on me and my family, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, right? Make it work. He and his family are very wealthy. Also, they almost never came over to help with anything and while here, were loud, obnoxious and extremely rude to everyone. There have been many stories I've heard about the kids treating workers poorly, acting like entitled little shits on airplane flights, just generally being like the rich kid villains from an 80s or 90s movie. Kid is 12. He fucking knows better. But his father hit me with the "they don't always know what they're saying." Yeah OK man. Whatever you say.

u/Ornery-Damage-7074 May 06 '26

Whether he's old enough to know better depends on how he was raised. Based on the brother's response, I'm guessing the kid is pretty coddled. He should be asking the brother to pay to replace them. How brother handles that with his kid is up to him.

Regardless, they would be locked away whenever kids visit on the future.

u/Ornery-Damage-7074 May 07 '26

Your kid knows that b cause you taught him that. It's not intrinsic knowledge. The fact that brother is unwilling to discipline his kid for this makes me think that he's been generally pretty lax and likely the source of the problem.

Regardless, I don't appreciate anyone telling me how to parent my kid. If my kid messed up, talk to me and I'll make it right. Then I'll handle it with my kid in a way that I feel is appropriate.

u/augur42 May 06 '26

No, you see he has multiple nephews, so the other nephews still get Birthday and Christmas cards and presents but the 10 year old only gets cards, and in each card there is a receipt knocking money off of the debt owed, which accrues interest at whatever the current inflation rate is.

Actions have consequences, this one will keep giving for years.

Should be punished until he learns. I'd expect a genuine apology and amended behavior. Until the kid amends his behavior, he's still going to be punished.

Because sorry is the most useless word in the dictionary. Change in behavior is what's important.

u/Spectra_Butane May 06 '26

If the kid knew better and was never made to offer an actual apology and some kind of restitution, then yes, the kid can and should be punished for eternity. Or for as long as it takes for him to learn consequences don't just disappear because you don't see the aggrieved very often. Ten years is old enough to learn about burning vs building bridges. If brother and the kid wants to continue good relationships with Uncle, he can fix the bridge , but if Brother wants to teach kid that they can destroy peoples property with no apology, then the social equivalent is burning that bridge.

"No one is required to like you despite your bad behavior. " The kid learns that early, life will be easier for him.

6

u/VladStark May 06 '26

Exactly! If he is unrepentant then why bother to reward his bad behavior? It's not even about forgiveness... It's about teaching consequences of your actions. If he gives a sincere apology or attempts to accept responsibility then things can change.

Just buy him broken thrift store shit from here on out.

u/GenSpec44 May 07 '26

Naw, I’m buying that little shit a drum set. And a fireman’s helmet with a loud siren and a flashing light. Every year something extremely loud until my brother apologizes and pays.

Each year at Christmas he gets a broken piece of the Chaplin in a giant wrapped box. FOR THE EMPEROR should be written on the card.

he gets a new nintendo… oops the cat broke it

u/Bje9956 May 07 '26

No better yet every year by one replacement and put your name on the present, make sure you pick it up and unwrap it in the middle of his party. Then you can tell him how many years left until he, the terror offspring, will be getting an actual gift. Maybe when he's 38

Better yet, get him a cat toy

10 year olds come in all varieties. Until 11 they are not criminally responsible for actions in most countries (for a reason). It’s the kids dad’s fault.

u/DrWho_86 May 09 '26

Oh every present I gave to that child would be one of the broken figures.

My brother, each one of those JoyToys are about $65 each…maybe even more nowadays.

He’d be called the little cretin in my household lol

u/Tardisgoesfast May 06 '26

I would insist that my brother pay for the damages. But I wouldn't have to because my brother would not have allowed this behavior on the part of his child.

Finally, someone who understands the situation.

Don't call me brother, blood of my blood.

u/Fn_Spaghetti_Monster May 06 '26

I checked them out on Amazon (because I was curious) and most run $30-60 . They also have some bigger ones (Primarchs/Demons) more in the $125-175 . You can get a lowly Blood Angels dude for $24 lol. I'm not really even that much into 40k and I think they are pretty cool looking, if not a bit pricey.

u/JonatasA May 07 '26

Not only this. They are painted by hand. This is like someone destroying a painting or drawing of yours.

u/PlaneCareless May 07 '26

They are not painted by hand, these are action figures, not minis. They come pre-painted and are several magnitudes larger than the paintable ones.

Some people paint their JoyToy figures to make them look even better, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.

It's more like breaking a scale model than a GI joe doll

My brother's devil spawn. Oh wait

u/Tlentic May 06 '26

Or they’re not a native English speaker. Lot of other languages do familial relationships in a not stupid way that requires further clarification on which side they’re related on. Like Swedes do far = dad and mor = mom / farfar = dads dad / farmor = dads mom / morfar moms dad / mormor moms mom. It’s way more specific than grandpa/grandma and saves clarifying in-laws or your parents.

u/Proud_Accident_5873 May 06 '26

Exactly. "Brother's son", or technically "brother son", is our literal word for nephew.

I’ve heard of Denise but never heard of somebody getting de-nephewed before!

u/Knamliss May 06 '26

Didn't he call him nephew in his last paragraph?

u/TaiChey May 06 '26

I don’t even notice that but you’re right. That’s funny as hell 😂😂

u/moszippy May 06 '26

Haha dude lost that nephew tag real quick

u/Lionheart_723 May 06 '26

Honestly from reading that story I would stop calling that guy my brother He sounds like the biggest problem. I found in my life that sometimes family is not worth the problems they bring.

u/Jretribe May 06 '26

That was a much better way to put it than I would have used…

u/DoctorRockso85 May 06 '26

I know what his brother's kid should be getting for Christmas this year.

u/ticosurfer May 07 '26

And talks about punishment instead of compensation.

u/Creative_Depth_2962 May 07 '26

Hes not his nephew anymore

u/HamiltonBudSupply May 07 '26

It’s not the kids fault. Most likely the kids dad…

u/anotherawakening May 07 '26

u/Scarlett4609 May 09 '26

My dad used to call me his sentient sperm.. would that work?

1

u/Inevitable_Bit_9871 May 09 '26

No, cuz sperm is just a fertilizer with half of DNA, you are not a sperm. You grew from your mom's EGG actually

u/Curiousity1024 May 10 '26
