Apparently, Allie pointed out how it was unfair that Eli was not expected to do the same amount of chores as she and Sasha, yet he still received the same amount of allowance money.
But she tried to explain to her daughter how Eli could only do so much around the house.
“He is in a wheelchair and cannot really use his right hand well, so what was he supposed to do?” she asked.
Allie did not agree with her perspective, though, and claimed that Eli could just “try harder” to make their workloads even.
Still, she ended up telling her daughter that the chore split was “even enough”– claiming that Allie’s chores were easy for her to complete and did not take her long to do; meanwhile, Eli takes a bit longer to complete his tasks.
Well, it appears that Allie was not satisfied with her answer– because after their conversation, her daughter approached her brother, Allie’s uncle, to complain about the system at their house.
Then, she ended up getting berated by her brother. Apparently, he claimed that she was “being stupid” and told her that she needed to treat each of her kids fairly. So, her brother said that she either needed to give Eli more chores or pay him less money.
Anyway, now, with both her brother and Allie telling her she is in the wrong, she has been left wondering if giving her son with special needs fewer chores for the same amount of allowance money makes her a jerk or not.
Does “fair” mean “equal?” Do you believe that she should be making Eli work harder than his siblings for the same amount of money? Or is her current system fair since it accounts for her son’s different abilities? If you were in her shoes, would you change the chore structure or not?
