NTA. Your child’s, your business. Your brother is TA

“NTA You have every right to do what you want with your child. Just as your brother does. I think all kids should have chores they’re expected to do just because. They should pick up after themselves and keep their room clean etc. There are extra things they do for money. But an allowance is a good thing for the reasons you’ve shown. They learn to save and be responsible. What you choose to pay them for is up to you. Tell your brother to stay out of your family business.” – A wise parent stands up for their parenting choices!

NTA. Teaching money management skills

NTA; Teaching kids responsibility and money management

“NTA What you’re doing has worked for your family, and your daughter. Continue as you have always done. There’s nothing wrong with being rewarded for doing work. Your brother and SIL can deal with their own son however they please. But it’s got nothing to do with you. Their son putting on a ‘strike’ is an attitude that they need to parent. If it was me, I would’ve thought ‘man, my cousin is so lucky.’ But never would I have put an ultimatum to my parents.”
