Teen sells PS5 after stepdad demands he share it with stepbrothers

A teenager was forced to sell his PS5 after his selfish stepbrothers demanded access to it. The teenager had purchased the gaming console with his own money after earning a lot from a part-time job. At first, he allowed his stepbrothers to use it when he wasn’t using it, but after they destroyed one of his controllers, he changed the rule to only allow them to use it when he was present. This led to his stepbrothers whining to their parents, who then ordered him to place the PS5 in the living room. When he refused, his dad threatened to throw it away while he was at school. Frustrated, the teenager sold the PS5 on Facebook Marketplace. Now, his stepbrothers are devastated and his parents are angry. Was the teenager wrong for selling his PS5? You be the judge.
