I think you are on the right track. You may have figured it out before your dad
...maybe... it sounds like they are 'giving in' to BOTH of you, but somehow
you seem to have learned the 'value of a dollar',
so MAYBE they are doing something right. You are NOT too young to teach him, he MIGHT be too young to learn 'value' given the fact that your parents are very generous. But, if you buy something with your money... I think you should be able to 'charge' him something for using it... especially if he tends to break your (or his) stuff. Family discounts...ok too though
