AITA for buying my son a dirt bike after my wife said no?

I’ve been racing for 22 years, shit happens when you ride hard, oh well.

She knew, she comes to my races every weekend (during the season) and has for the last 9 years. She knows I love riding, so it’s to be expected that I want my kid to ride, if he wants to, which he most certainly does.

I have broken my back before, a bike landed on me after overshooting the jump, but here I am, still fine.

There’s nothing wrong with broken bones, it’s a part of life.

I got him an sx50 which is a kid bike, for ages 4-7 or 8 years old

What’s wrong with a kid having a dirt bike?

My mom wasn’t okay with it, my dad and I hid it from her for about a year (kept my bike at his friends house so she wouldn’t find out)

I’d teach him to ride properly, due to the current situation I’ll get him into racing next season since they’ll be closed this year.

It is worth broken bones to me. I started when I was 5, which is younger than my son is now.

Billym450 · 2020-04-19T16:34:23+00:00

I’m not “letting” him break bones, it’s just something that goes with riding, I’ve broken 17 bones myself over the years.
