My beautiful fiancée Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun) visited my parents’ estate in New York this weekend for a fundraiser while I was away on business in Seattle. I trust her fully to represent me at such gatherings, as she is a kindred spirit and aspires as I do towards the finer things in life.

In attendance at said gathering was my brother Robert, his underachieving wife and their 3 year old son Roberto. Such a silly name for the lad, but considering he was named as such to not only pay homage to my brother but also to 1960’s baseball star Roberto Clemente I guess it will suffice.

Young Roberto seems to take on many of the same traits as his mother. He is rather undisciplined and seems to crave troublesome situations. This is a young man that will never be at ease in a high social setting such as a Yacht Club meeting or attending an equestrian event. It will be best that he stays towards his mothers chosen sport of bowling.

He was being rather truculent at a certain point and was NOT being attended to by his mother, who was feeling ill at that moment. Perhaps she had too much alcohol? What a surprise that would be. Anyway, as Roberto was acting rudely, my fiancée Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun) gave him a verbal request to be polite. It was at this point that Roberto told my fiancée to “shut up”. She then challenged him to fisticuffs, and was proceeding with said challenge until his mother finally got some energy and broke them up.

Now my brother will not speak with me, as he states that Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun) has something of a quick temper and needs counseling. I asked of him, how does one judge my fiancée while married to someone of his wife’s caliber? He hung up the phone at that point, although I’m still convinced it may have instead been a bad connection. I WILL NOT have someone hang up the phone on me!

Was my beautiful fiancée correct? I cannot help but believe that a little corporal punishment would have done this young man an absolute world of good.

OMG, no wonder people think the rich and equestrian socieites are inbreed. you and MEEGUN need to f*uck off and go to a homeless shelter and see how bad life can really be. btw, u and MEEGUN deserve each other and ur brother's wife sounds a whole lot more down to earth and thoughtful than u two ever could. grow up and start living in reality, life isn't caviar and parties, it's the one's u love and the deeds u do. ur an asshole.

Disciplining any child other than one's own is a tricky proposition. And whether or not a bit of discipline would have done the little man some good or not - is simply NOT your place. Nor is it Megan's (Mee-Gun, not May-Gun).

First of all, spoiled child notwithstanding - who is the adult here? Megan (Mee-Gun, not May-Gun) of course.

Sadly she chose to behave as a child herself. This puts her in the wrong.

She should have maintained her distance from Roberto and his Mummy and Daddums and let the chips fall where they may - just adjusting her physical position to as far away from the naughty boy and family as possible.

Barring that - say, Roberto had annointed her new Channel with crab bisque or something amazing. What Megan (Mee-Gun, not May-Gun) should have done was to first ignore Roberto for as long as possible. At the same time she should have spoken quietly to Brother telling him that Roberto really needs some attention from a parent at that moment.

She then should have escallated the matter to Grandmama and Grandpapa - to quest that they speak with Roberto' Mummy and Daddums - and insist that they attend to their child.

My best advice is to let this slide as a "misunderstanding." Whether your brother hung up on you or not - is not important. Let this slide and thank your maker that your fiance is considerably more worthy than your brother's wife.

Again I ask you - who is/are the adults in your family? I trust it is you and Megan (Mee-Gun, not May-Gun). If so, then act accordingly and rise above all this petty, stupid stuff.

Brother and lazy wife will have enough to deal with when Roberto grows up.

And urge your parents to speak with their financial advisor about Brother's inheritance - somehow separating it from yours - so you won't be liable for any more of his foolishness.

Perhaps you should remind your fiancee Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun) that the child is three and she is an adult. While I believe correcting a child that is NOT yours is okay...if you say, "Roberto, that wasn't very nice, we shouldn't use words like shut up." Getting into a brawl with the kid is childish on your fiancee's end. You and Megan are in the wrong...obviously you have little respect for your brother, his wife, or his child. Perhaps you should stick with polo matches and country clubs, and keep your stuck up nose out of their business.

It would seem your beautiful fiancee reflects the temperament of Roberto. NO ONE has the right to hit a 3 year old. Your Megan (Mee-Gun NOT May-Gun) needs to go back to pre-school.

That brings back so many fond memories for me. One time, a few years back, I got into a huge "tussle" with my 5 year old nephew when were playing EA sports NHL97. I was razzing him after I scored 17 straight goals and led 18-1 with the crappy Phoenix Coyotes over his beloved Red Wings. I was giggling after one of my lousier defensemen skated right through his whole team and scored. He started to cry like a little baby and that made me laugh more. What a poor loser! Then he went out of the room and came back and poured Orange Kool-aid all over my head!!! I got incensed and had to pulled off of him. He freaking well started it!!!!! Geez...my sister( the kid's mom) wouldn't talk to me for years.

I honestly can't believe some of the unhelpful replies my fellow answerers have offered. Mary Liz was completely useless, and should consider taking up something more suitable to her apparent inadequacies.

My heart goes out to your fiance Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun... an elegant name, by the way). Until your vows she should still be considered a guest in the presence of your family, and she was not treated as such. I hope your brother and his underachieving, floozy of a wife treat others more cordially than they do their future in-laws. I would hate to attend a high-class function and be treated in a manner so degrading and disrespectful

It seems that the child should not have been in attendance if he has behavioral problems. I see clearly by your accounts that his parents are either oblivious to his shortcomings or refuse to take action to correct them. I hope, in time, your brother comes to see the light, and makes the little hooligan apologize for being so disruptive and low-class.

You sound like a pompous windbag and your fiancée , Maygun, sounds like an idiot. Aside from that, your fiancée should have known better than to pick a fight with a 3 yr old. She was wrong, end of story, no matter what you think of your brother and his wife. She was supposed to be the adult, but acted worse than you think your nephew is.

Am I correct in hearing that your fiancee got into a fist fight with a young child? If it's true then I agree with your brother that she's the one who needs help. I would find a more stable woman. And if you keep putting down your brother's wife he'll probably stop talking to you.
