Am I Wrong for Selling My Daughter’s BMW After She Paid For All the Repairs?

When one has kids, one can do all to ensure that one kid does not feel more loved than the other or that one favors one child more, but more often than not, there are always slip-ups, showing that no parent is perfect.

Here, a father’s decision shows he may favor one child over another.

Family Ties

The family bond is precious and should be protected at all costs — will this father risk destroying the relationship with his daughter over a car, or would he see reason? Here’s what happened!

For the sake of this story, we’ll call this father Ben. So, Ben has a 28-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter. He loves his children equally; however, he recognizes they are different individuals with different lives. So, Ben helps them out based on their needs. 

Father of Two

Remember how Ben’s children are different people? His son did poorly in high school and went to a community college. But, after one semester, he decided it was not for him, so he chose a different path.

The Gift 

He went to trade schools and eventually settled on HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning).  But Ben knew his son. He knew he had trouble sticking to things, so imagine his joy when he became certified in HVAC. As a gift, Ben bought him a brand-new truck.

Ben’s daughter was always more academically minded — the better half, as far as academics were concerned. She got into a good college out of state, too.
