Vacation?...Why Do I Feel MORE Stressed?

[Scorpodael]

Well, if you do go to a massage parlor, make sure it's a massage parlor, and not a "Massage" Parlor.

...Do I even want to know?

[Dasota]

Some places offer "happy endings" to their customers of a naughty variety. Don't go to those places.

[Seraph]

...yeah, my husband just explained it to me. Grinning the whole time.

She said you were undermining her? How can you undermine anything that's A) not strong and B) has no structure?

You're welcome.

...I've honestly never been to a spa, or massage-type place. I wouldn't have the foggiest how to even look for one, LOL.

I've never been to one, either, but my Google-fu is strong. Found a quite lovely one for the bosslady who was out of the state to attend a niece's wedding.

He's never hit her again that I've seen, though. I think I made myself pretty darn clear.

You might consider extending that dire warning to cover his sister, as well. And, well, maybe everyone else in the world who isn't a threat.

If I behaved like your nephew did when I was his age, my hide would have been tanned, and would still be tan 30 years later.

In a way I feel bad for him. He's got a rough life ahead of him if he doesn't change, or get discipline in his life. I hope for the best, but fear the worst. In a way, the lack of discipline is a form of child abuse in my opinion.

Try this site....Mrs. TGK would advise avoiding the Mario Tricoci chain--she has nothing good to say about them.

I'll be flipped. There's one with a huge amount of rave reviews just 30 minutes from me.

<looks at their costs> Eeep.

A couple years back, I think it was a Thanksgiving or a Christmas, Nephew punched SIL. Hard. Actually nearly made her cry.

Wow. What will it take for her to discipline her kids? When he's 16 and he punches her again?

I hope his papa can discipline him because she sounds too weak to do it.

I'm assuming that was rhetorical. But very likely it seems...probably with police involvement as well.

I was enforcing a "capital punishement system she didn't believe in".

I think you meant corporal punishment, capital may be a little over the top (although possibly not given his subsequent behaviours). :P

...Whoopsies. My bad. ><

Nephew here is an insufferable little twit. He hasn't been disciplined properly in the past, and his behavior has suffered for it. Right now, he's dealing with parental units who have no spine, and occasionally deals with Seraph, who due to her status as an Enemy of Normalcy, has very low bullshit tolerance.

It's too late to do anything about Seraph's vacation, but in the future, any outings wherein Nephew will play a factor might need to have some ground rules set, especially if Seraph's ponying up some money for the vacation house.
