[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 422003, member: 2960"] For the 95% of the time when I think they're just whining, I look at them very seriously and then say, "Who told you that life was fair? Life's not fair. Tell me who it was and I'll go straighten them out." They've never come up with a name. However, when the situation warrants it (usually something at school), I'll tell them that no, life isn't fair, but what you can do is try to make your little corner of the world fair by treating others properly. I'll make a stab at what the teacher might have been thinking and ask them if they want me to follow up with the teacher. Most of the time they say no. And, on occasion, I do explain that they are very different children so yes, I treat them differently sometimes ... that it's about ability rather than age, etc. I rarely hear anything about fairness anymore.
