But, that is nearly always a transparent excuse for blatant favoritism. Your childern see right through you.[/quote]

Not OP, but I say the same thing, Fair does not mean equal. [b]There is no way I'll let my 13yr. old do everything my 16yr. old does![/b][/quote]
Age means nothing and by acting as if it does you are being unfair, The only factors should maturity and how each of them handles a specific privilege.[/quote]

So are you saying to the OP, age doesn't matter? She has an 18yr. old and a 16yr. old. Age does matter!

Because I don't play favoritism, age matters to me![/quote] 
Yes i am saying age doesn't matter, If you remove age as a factor what is a significant difference between a 16 and an 18 year old? In some cases a younger child may be more mature than an older one and there for should get more privileges.[/quote]
