[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 86545, member: 393"] Sweetie, This isn't favoritism - this is reality. Would you put a severely physically disabled child in charge of mowing the lawn or taking out the garbage? No - it isn't within his realm of possibility. So it becomes a matter of teaching your other children not about favoritism, but about acceptance of their younger brother's disorder/illness. It's likely that your older boys get priviledges & outings that younger difficult child doesn't because of his very disorder. Is life fair? Not on every level. Not every day. It's not fair that your youngest difficult child cannot process these very normal steps; likely cannot do some of the fun, everyday things his brothers do as well. Life is seldom fair. Life is life. I hope you find a solution to this - you seem so dragged down by this situation. [/QUOTE]
