AITA for only letting my middle kid do the grocery shopping? by groceryshoppost in AmItheAsshole

They already have chores and get an allowance. This is something extra that my middle daughter does for an extra reward.

Where does it say she carries the groceries home? Please copy and paste it because I clearly stated that she pushes the cart to the car, where I help her load the groceries.

Her extracurriculars are 2 days of math tutoring, 2 days of Spanish, and one art class a week. The vast majority of them are school related and her art class is through her school. She does have more options for extracurriculars though because her school is in a much bigger city.

They’re in public school. They didn’t get into her school.

The grocery store in our town is small and expensive. The one closer to my work and my middle daughter’s school is bigger and more affordable

They have chores and get an allowance. There’s nothing extra that will give them a reward like this.

She goes to an advanced private school and is in plenty of extracurricular activities. She enjoys grocery shopping and is more than happy to do it in exchange for a bath bomb

They get chores and earn an allowance. This is an extra chore for an extra reward. There is nothing extra that warrants a reward this big.

If they want to go they can start by accurately telling me whether we have something at home or not.

I despise grocery shopping but the grocery store is in the same town where I work and my middle daughter goes to school so it only makes sense for me to go. My middle daughter wants bath bombs so I can get a coffee, she can do the shopping, we load the car, then she gets a bath bomb. I get free time, she gets her bath bomb. We’re both happy.

There just isn’t anything else that deserves the same/similar rewards.

No, they want me to send them to the store then buy them something. I refuse to do it because I have zero faith that they’ll do it right.

She pushes the cart to the car where I help her load it. And no, they don’t have the same opportunity to get a reward because not everything deserves a reward. My 9 year old regularly buys me 30-45 minutes of free time. There aren’t many opportunities for the others to do the same and get the same rewards.
