"Last week my sister was over with her almost 6-year-old son. We were talking in the living room when we realized we hadn't seen him for more than 10 minutes. We found him in our bedroom, and discovered he had gotten into our desk and our chest of drawers. The contents of both had been pulled out and were scattered everywhere."
"First off, I like the framing about how you keep an absolute monster load of sex toys at hand because you "don't have any kids." I'm picturing a couple coming home from the hospital with their newborn baby and then one of them pops back out the front door a few seconds later holding a big cardboard box filled with sex toys, drugs, and cigarettes to leave at the curb. I mean, that's basically what happens, I guess."
A homeowner discovered her sister's almost six-year-old nephew had rifled through a bedroom desk and chest of drawers, scattering contents including sex toys. The sister reacted angrily, declared the nephew banned from the house, and took him home. The homeowner believes the child should know not to enter others' rooms and search belongings. Both parties bear some responsibility: adults should secure private items and establish clear physical and behavioral boundaries in their homes. Parents should supervise and respond calmly, using the incident as a teaching moment about respect for others' spaces and possessions.
