I was the nanny for a wealthy family that consisted of two parents and their 3 teenage sons. They lived in a dilapidated white house that was next to some kind of fancy resort. Even though the house was in such terrible condition I somehow knew that the family was very wealthy. It was bright outside and the family was getting ready to go to the pool at the resort. It also must have been Christmas because there were stockings hung up on the mantle. The mother pulled me aside as she was grabbing a pool bag and asked me to talk to her son, the middle child of the three boys. She told me that he was hoarding all of the gifts and would not allow his brothers to have any. I walked over to the boys' room and sure enough I see him sitting on the floor, playing his Xbox, surrounded by a sea of multi-colored jello cups (I guess these were the coveted gifts!).
I walk over to him and give him a cross look. He ignores me. I tell him what his mother told me then say "Don't you think it's unfair for your brothers not to get anything for Christmas?" He tells me to shut up then threatens to punch me in the face. I say, in the most matter-of-fact way, "That is honestly not a concern to me right now." He looks over at me angrily. At this point I also notice he has about 3 or 4 friends in the room with him. They're all looking at me angrily, then burst out laughing. I'm reminded of why I can't stand teenage boys. I threaten to take his Xbox, but he just looks at his friends then laughs again. I walk over and unplug the game console then tell him to go to the pool with his family. He storms out of the room- his friends follow.
The dream cuts to me at the pool. It looks like a lazy river sort of thing. I'm sitting on the stairs of the pool, in waist-deep water, and am talking to the mother of the boys. We're discussing her son's terrible behavior and trying to figure out
how to address it. I look over and see her middle son with his friends trying to sneak his Xbox into the resort. I immediately get up and start to walk over to him but he notices me and dashes away. I hear his mother say "We HAVE to get that away from him!" I scan the area but don't see him or his friends. I'm feeling stressed about having to confront him and take his Xbox away, especially given the bratty/aggressive way he talked to me earlier. I see them go into a room on the first floor of the resort and trot towards them. Then I woke up!
