My Brother's Kids

[Scottyboi]

GIve the little shit a cold shower and send him bed. If the dad acts up do the same the useless shite. I am strict with my toddler he understands already that daddy is boss doesn't mean we don't have fun like!

I always find them early 40's career driven mums struggle to control tarquin and hermoine.

IF this is a serious thread, then it sounds like you and your brother have got some unresolved issues from your childhood. Pretty sick using kids to carry it on though, but that's families for you.

It is some pathetic, petty bullshit if you ask me but he has been like that ever since he was a kid. One funny story was the time he paid a kid to hurt me in gym class.

Man up and sort it out with your brother - paying someone to beat up your sibling is not normal behaviour. Have you considered it might be petty for you but not for him.

There really isn't anything between us anymore, we hashed it out years ago. I've also kept my mouth shut about the kids. The other issue is that he might be the most pussy-whipped man in the world. His wife pretty much lays down the law for him and he doesn't have the balls to stand up for himself. She says horrible things about everybody in my family and he just goes along with it. They really are a perfect match, she likes to boss everybody around and he doesn't have the ability to stand up for himself with his wife or his kids.

Punch the little shit. Hard. In the face.

Was my first thought too. You need to strap on a pair and have a word with your brother, not his kids.

Feel free to give them a beating when you're done though. No one likes little shits.

It is inevitable that somebody is going to have to talk to him. We have two other brothers and both parents around though and I'd rather it not have to be me. I am usually the one to have to deal with this shit and I feel like it's somebody else's turn to step up. It really pisses me off that his kids cause all kind of drama but the bad guy will be the one who calls them out.

The conversation will most certainly start with me telling him the problem to which he'll say it isn't just his kids. I'll tell him that when his kids aren't around there are no problems and he'll say that I'm telling him I don't want his kids around. Because in his mind his kids are just doing what all kids do and it is completely normal. I wish they would just leave the, with us for a week and give me a serious crack at them. I don't think they'd get away with telling me to shut up and that they hate me without absorbing a punishment that actually sticks. All their parents do is threaten them with punishments that they never carry out.

And there's your perfect opportunity. Say ''if they keep misbehaving the way they are doing, then no; I don't want them around''. Yes, it may well cause a serious rift between you and your brother and his family. Reading the the thread so far though, would that be such a bad thing? You don't seem too keen on him, you don't like his wife and we've covered the brats. You have to decide if you want to put up with this shit for the sake of ''keeping the peace'' or if you want a nice, peaceful life.

I think you'll find it's what the lefties call progressive parenting, its where the children find their own way in life...

Being an arsehole and not giving a shit about other people? Sounds like they're raising their children as rightees to me.

Not sure if this is a parody thread or not?

I've been looking for a worsleyweb thread but can't find one so I assume it's genuine.

Clearly the kid doesn't understand that his actions have consequences and needs to learn that quickly. If he'd been kicking me, I'd have stood up and calmly kicked him back, quite hard, asking "Did that hurt?" When he said yes, I'd have said "Well it hurt me when you kicked me so don't do it again". Or I'd have shouted at him quite aggressively, enough to make him scared of you. He has to learn boundaries and if his father won't teach him then you should.

If your brother gets annoyed or intervenes, you then give him both barrels in front of the little shit.
