[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 422682, member: 11791"] Found out that for kids, "fair" and "equal" are the same thing. So, we've had to really define those terms. If kid1 = 20x effort to do a task as kid2 doing same task... then how do you measure fair? equal results? or equal effort? Instead, for chores, we try to focus on getting them to do what they are good at and/or can do with reasonable effort - and its NOT equal, but it IS fair! When it comes to food and who can have what - its harder. Allergies/intolerances/restrictions are not fair. p.s. on that bedwetting - have you tried taking her 100% off dairy? that worked in my family 40 years ago...! [/QUOTE]
