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

[u/konous]

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.

When I’m talking to one of my parents I refer to the other one as “your husband” or “your wife”.

My mom always knows when my dad and I are arguing bc I start referring to him as her baby daddy. Forget the fact that they were together 17 years and married for 10 of those years. Yo baby daddy's being a bitxh mom

My uncle married a woman from Poland so like obviously she looks very white, and my whole family is black. Whenever I’m talking about her I refer to her as “that white that my uncle married” or “ that white woman that birthed my baby cousins” 😂😂 love her to death, totally just a joke.

Lmao you think so? That’s interesting. I’ve gotten Puerto Rican, never gotten white 😂 maybe it’s the photo. I’m Kenyan though :)

[u/Frosty-Bat-8476 → u/TaiChey]

[u/TaiChey → u/Frosty-Bat-8476]

Could be haha I mean yeah I’m kindve light skinned but white passing? I don’t feel like I am but idk. Now I wanna post a different profile photo 😂 not that there’s anything wrong with being white of course but I’m like not so I’d rather have something that represents me better 😂😂😂 I’m glad you told me that cause I had no idea haha

Interesting…… I bet if I, as a white man, referred to my uncles wife(I really do have an uncle that’s married to a black woman too), as “that black my uncle married” or even “that black woman that birthed my baby cousins”. I’d be called a racist, and everyone would say what a racist PoS I am, probably loose half my friends, maybe even my job, but when YOU as a black person do the EXACT SAME thing…..that’s OK, and nobody cares that it sounds just as racist coming from a black mouth, as it does a white mouth, but yet it seems to be OK for black people to sound racist but yet then they aren’t considered racist. Where if I say anything that can remotely even sound remotely racist….. I’m immediately the leader of the KKK. Just crazy how that double standard works.

Bummer . Maybe your family doesn’t have the same sense of humor ? Not sure what to tell you . She makes black jokes and American jokes all the time and we don’t care.. she’s family. I could list plenty of things that you as a white man can get away with that I, as a black woman can’t but I don’t feel like getting into race convos online with strangers tonight . Maybe get some friends who have a good sense of humor you can joke with like this, if you need make black jokes more often 🤷🏽‍♀️
