[QUOTE="ksm, post: 584677, member: 12511"] our difficult child is just like yours... in spite of everything we do for her, if easy child gets something, she feels left out and demands something to make it equal. Like the beginning of this school year. easy child had one pair of blue jeans... as she had worn uniform khaki pants all to hru grade school. When she got ready for 7th grade we bought one new pair of jeans, and two from goodwill, giving her a total of 4 pair of jeans. difficult child had about 10 pair of jeans, as she had been out of grade school for 2 years - but the fact that easy child got THREE pair of jeans and she didn't get any was unfair! Of course, she wasn't willing to try on jeans at goodwill, and when we went to Kohl's for easy child's new pair, she wanted a new pair too, but everyone she picked out to try was over $30 and had holes and slashes cut in them. Even small things, like pop tarts... difficult child would have had the entire box over the week, but if there is only one pkg left, and easy child wants it (not having any earlier ones) difficult child thinks easy child has to give her one of the two poptarts... It is like we can never reassure them that we love them... they keep a tally and they always come up short for some reason. KSM [/QUOTE]
