Just give it to him. It’s literally only $100 and your girl’s friend stuff is worth way more than that.

Also: Does the Dad understand the bike capability gap?

I've tried to explain it again and again. He's a football/golf guy with no mechanical understanding, so equipment capabilities seems to skirt beyond.

I'll probably just do it though. Their plan was to get her a bike for her bday at eom, so I volunteered this option.

He feels that he's taking stuff from us/we're buying things for the girls. It just doesn't register that the cost of these things for new parts are rounding errors overall and the vast, VAST majority of this stuff is from the spare parts bin. He doesn't seem to have a spare parts bin for anything, so me having complete bikes in just spare parts seems expensive to him. But most of it would qualify as junk to be stripped as needed or would be donated to a charity to get kids riding bikes.

I've told him how important it is to me to get kids (especially girls) onto bikes, which is why we support Little Bella's annually. So me throwing some money into bikes to get his girls riding with Haley, doesn't matter to me.

It's just frustrating.

That does sound frustrating, poor kids.

They are super well off. They do dance and cheer with Haley. Have the trampoline, etc. Just this specific thing...
