Growing up my stepdad would pay me allowance for chores. At one point I accumulated a lot of backowed money to the point where he just gave up and did not pay what he owed me. Frankly, I would have done the chores for free and it was not my idea, but the sole act of not paying what was owed made me resent him for a long time. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
