Back in high school, I had a friend who never kept any of the promises she made, and when I asked about them, she used to smirk and say, “Promises are made to be broken”. Now when I think about it, although the promises were about something stupid, her breaking them was quite hurtful.
In today’s story, the original poster (OP) promised to match the money his son earned and buy him a car. But after the son got $35k, he wondered if he should break the promise as it wasn’t right for a teen to drive a $70K car, and sought advice online.
