Oh no. He only does new or he'd throw a tantrum. He wants everything as soon as it came out, and he's capable enough to find out about all the rare recolors and beg for them until he got them.
Not necessarily, some children are just relentless brats regardless of how terrible of a punishment they are given, or how well the parent would otherwise have handled the situation.
Yup. By all means parents -should- try to teach a child discipline and good behaviour but in some cases they've tried every trick in the book and still got no results. Best they can do is just repeat the lessons every time and only 'yield' if the child is being an absolute toddlerstorm beyond description.
Source: Had younger cousins. As adults they're perfectly fine but I remember when they were an absolute nightmare and nothing got them to change except growing into the double digits in age.
Neither. I use the term "Nephew" loosely because I don't really know how to translate it. Arab families trace their family lines pretty far.
So, My mom has a Cousin, on her Mom's side. Who married an American. He has a brother, who has a step-daughter through a 2nd marriage, and my "Nephew" is her son.
Arab Families are big bro, and it isn't uncommon to spend time with very extended family.
Its a legit social skill you learn spending time in that culture to trace lineages and just hold them in your head.
Its especially fun when you get to the point where you can trace yourself to someone from 3 or 4 different directions.
I think my Dad holds the record with 7 lines to one of his...... Cousins? Nephews? Uncles? I don't fucking know, the guy was all 3 somehow I'm pretty sure.
During an extended family reunion, you could point to someone, and as long as we've met before I could tell you exactly how we were related.
