My Nephew Smashed My Brand-New Car With a Baseball Bat at My Sister’s Urging – So I Taught Her a Lesson She’d Never Forget

My nephew Jeremy had been pushing boundaries for as long as anyone could remember.

He was ten years old and had spent most of his life testing every limit in every room he entered. Rules meant nothing to him. He talked back to adults he had just met. Other people’s belongings were props in a story where he was always the main character.

My sister Kelsey had a name for it.

“Gentle parenting.”

I had another name for it, but I tried to keep that to myself.

Whenever someone in the family tried to correct Jeremy, Kelsey would immediately step in with the same breezy line.

“You’re interfering with his development.”
