The Wicked Witch of the North
Easy peasy lemon squeezy...isn't that how parenting is supposed to be?!
I had a conversation with my daughter when she was maybe 12-ish. She was complaining that it wasn't fair that her brother got more 'spent' on him. Her brother required remedial everything...physical therapy, after school tuition, the works. I told her 'fair' wasn't getting an equal share, fair was getting what you need, not getting him the help he needed would have been 'unfair'. She still felt like she was the loser in the situation even though she didn't want her brother's problems. My sister felt the same way cos me and my brother had to wear glasses and she didn't. Kids are strange beings.
