[quote=Anonymous]Last night I came home in the middle of a complete melt down. It was 8:00pm and my husband had just taken DD out of the bath. (Bedtime is 8:30pm) My 4 year old was screaming because DD2 (our 2year old) got to get of the bath tub first and it wasn't fair. I know that this is a stupid fight, but they are 2 and 4 so I entertain them. The problem was not the fight, but that my 4 year old continued to say that the 2 year old always gets to get out first. That is actually not true at all. Some nights they argue about who gets to stay longer. I explained that we do not make differences, and she said yes you do, sister always gets her stories read first too. That again is not true. We split bedtime stories. My husband reads to one child and I read to the other child. Story time begins at the same time and ends at the same time. In fact DD2's story time sometimes starts a little after DD1 because I am always trying to wash the last dish, or fold the last bit of clothes before we start. Are we always fair about every single thing, probably not. But do we try our absolute best, yes. Anyone else encounter this with a 4/5 year old who has a younger sibling? Is there something that i can do better? Should I worry about her perception?[/quote]
