“THAT’S NOT FAIR!” My 2-year-old daughter’s
words rang out loud and clear, for all to hear.
With four children ages two to 12, “fairness
issues” are a big part of our daily lives. Life is not
perfect, and life within a busy family is often even
less so. Between sharing toys and doling out
desserts, it seems there is always someone who
thinks he’s getting the short end of the stick.
