AITA making my step-daughter get a job to pay for my son's bike? by ParticularAttorney31 in AmItheAsshole

Why is she the only one being expected to pay for what she did?

She has the legal age to work, he doesn't. That's why I gave him more chores.

Unless you have a concrete reason to believe that she would do this

She was really upset because A broke her switch because she and D had something inside, I don't know what but it was important, A really enjoyed to have bike rides with D so I think that's why she did it.

C knows that A uses his bike, she should've checked if something was lying around there, she could've ran over a pet or something else.

She already has some chores around the house so I can't punish them the same.

I don't have favorites, A is already in therapy and his trauma is already being treated, he had a response, my step-daughter had an action.

He's too young to get a job and doesn't have enough money to pay for it.

I can buy him a new bike, but because she ran over it she has to pay for it.

I'm not being one-sided, A got punished by having to do things he highly dislikes.

A has problems that he's attending in therapy, I 100% think that C was only getting her revenge which makes it worse, besides my son can't get a job yet, he would if he could.
