That's awesome.

As an older brother, I convinced my little sisters that we had another sister at one point, but she wouldn't behave, and one day she went for a drive with Mom and Dad, and never came back.

Then there was the time I convinced teh little kid my sister babysat that Mom used to punish us by making us stand in the corner while she threw bricks at us. I said that we were allowed to dodge, but that if we got hit, it was because we deserved it. It helped there were some spare bricks sitting in the corner of the patio.

He scoffed, so I told him my sister's forehead scar (chicken pox) was because she didn't dodge the brick once.

Well, he told his parents, and that was that for babysitting.

I'm glad I found this place. It makes me happy that I had no siblings.

On a darker note, punishing the victim is how people deal with real abuse situations all the time and it's really enraging.

Imagine finding out for real that a teen girl you are paying to babysit is being hit and instead of saying "ok how about you work at my house instead" you cut off her income stream? Really sick shit and absolutely standard, every abuse survivor has stories like this of how "normal" people mistreated them.
