Chip Chick
When he gifted his oldest son a car, he was only thinking that he wanted to do a kind thing for his son.
Not only is his daughter upset that she didn’t get a car, but his ex-wife (the mother of his daughter) also is not happy with him either.
“She’s seen me give the other boys nice things for their birthday (my eldest is her stepson) and thinks I’m treating her differently because she’s a girl and that I always prioritize the boys,” he said.
“Apparently, my daughter was more upset about the lack of a car than I had thought. She thinks I should at least put more money towards our daughter getting a car as she knows I can afford it and am being (mean) by not getting her one. I told her that she could also give our daughter money for a car.”
He does have the money to purchase his daughter a used car on the more affordable side, and he does have the ability to gift her money for a car she wants to buy, but the thing is, he already technically spent more money on his daughter than his sons.
The $500 he gave his daughter is more than he spent on his sons, as their presents were things he already owned that we just taking up space in his garage.
“I can’t remember how much I gave my son to fix the car, but it was max $250,” he continued. “I have 3 younger kids. I can’t really continue to set a precedent that I’ll buy each of them a car…I feel like I ruined her birthday by letting her down.”
Do you think he should get his daughter a car, after all, and will that make it more equal between her and her brothers?
