I would really appreciate some opinions about the monthly allowance that we have given DS1 and Dd between the ages of 16 and 18. Dd was 16 first and her birthday is in January. So she had a monthly allowance from the january until the August after she turned 18. So approx 2 years 7 months. DS1 had his 16th birthday in the month of May so only had his allowance for 2 years 3 months.
I have to say that it honestly never crossed my mind that I was favouring one of them, it just was what we did. Now DS1 is saying that he had 4 months less money than his sister and we haven't been fair.
I personally think that he is being greedy, but am willing to be told that I am being unjust!
So over to you, mumsnet jury!
