Brother’s GF Forced to Mow Lawn: Unfair or Justified?

We’ve all had our fair share of roommate drama, but this story takes it to a whole new level. A homeowner allowed his brother and his girlfriend to live with him rent-free while they got back on their feet financially. In exchange, they agreed to do all the chores, including mowing the lawn. But when the brother sprained his ankle and couldn’t do yard work, the homeowner asked the girlfriend to mow the lawn instead. She wasn’t happy about it, and now the internet is divided on whether this was fair or not.
