Dear Queenie,
My brother and sister and I have just figured out that our parents do not give all of us the same allowance. We are only about a year apart in age and we don’t understand why we don’t all get the same amount and we would like to know why they do this.
Queenie, should we just ask them?—Confused siblings
Dear Siblings,
Yes, you can ask them, but do so in a peaceful, polite, non-argumentative way.
My guess is that the differences are based on your various ages and what your parents understand your respective needs to be. They also may be related to the differences in how each of you conforms to your parents’ rules and performs assigned chores.
