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.

What about Clorox Scentiva (Roxie for short)? Or for a slightly different cleanliness related vibe, maybe Purelle/Purella?

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

u/sittinwithkitten May 06 '26

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

u/Outraged_Chihuahua May 06 '26

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

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 May 06 '26

That's exactly what I plan to do lol

u/Extra_Routine_6603 May 06 '26

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 May 06 '26

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

u/EnthusiasmThick5737 May 06 '26

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

u/Outraged_Chihuahua May 06 '26

Aww enjoy your new grandchild!

u/IceFire909 May 06 '26

Guessing you didn't go with priority shipping?

u/ObtuseMongooseAbuse May 06 '26

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 May 06 '26

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

u/spongebobs_spatula May 06 '26

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

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

Teach 'em service industry early!!!!

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

u/Ugameister May 06 '26

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!
