Meet a father of four who’s got a dilemma on his hands. He and his wife have been giving their twin sons different allowances, and now that the secret’s out, things are getting heated. The twins, A and B, are both 14 years old and share the same amount of chores. However, A takes on more emotional labor in the household, acting as a mediator and leader. To recognize his efforts, his parents have been giving him an extra $5 a week. But when B found out, he was furious. Let’s dive into the story.

Twin Allowance Drama: The Fallout

So, what do you think? Is it fair for A to receive a higher allowance for his emotional labor, or should both twins get the same amount? B is furious, feeling that they’ve been doing the same amount of chores and it’s unfair for A to get more money. The parents are struggling to explain their reasoning to B. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family’s allowance conundrum…
