Kids and no consequences

https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1t5dy3j/my_brothers_son_destroyed_my_warhammer_action/

10 year old destroyed his uncle's stuff and duh told brother to buy a new set on amazon, then return the brokenn stuff and tell them it came like that all to avoid the kid facing consequences

We should start calling parents babysitters now bcz they literally do anything than actually parent, lead, or teach a kid anything. They let them take over their homes and simply put up w/ them, cart them around to school and activities, where there too, no one wins, no one loses, and everyone gets a passing grade as long as they hand in a paper w/ their name on it.

The update says the brat's handler is going to pay for the damage, but the kid should still get punished. Ten years old is plenty old enough to understand what "don't touch that" means, and if they decide to blatantly not listen, then they are old enough to be punished. I don't think he's too young to get introduced to the business end of a leather belt, but modern parents would probably call that abuse, so ground the fucker and take away everything but his mattress. Make him work off the debt with chores, and add another week to the grounding every time he refuses. Break his shit right in front of him and tell him why it's happening. Take away his birthday presents/party and Christmas presents if necessary.

Without consequences, Junior is going to wind up breaking something a lot more expensive one day. Daddy can bail him out, but if he doesn't learn, he has no reason to stop.
