My DD (8) is yelling at me (again) because she feels things aren’t fair between she and her siblings.  This happens at least once a day.  Revoking privileges, time-outs, etc aren’t working.

I’m thinking about trying to make life more fair for her.  I mean, it’s not fair that we live in a multi-million dollar house when some people have nothing.  It’s not fair that we had salmon and vegetable omelets when others had nothing.  It’s not fair that we go to the ballet, nice restaurants, and great vacations.

I’m looking for ideas to help her see ho live is extremely unfair in her favor.

I grew up working and contributing to the needed income.  I was physically and sexually abused as a kid.  I was so dirty in early elementary school, my teachers would call to remind my parents to bathe me.  My DD has an amazing life yet regularly yells about things not being fair - and for stupid things like her brother got to stir the oatmeal and she didn’t, etc.

She's a spoiled brat and you are responsible for this.  I don't care how much money anyone has, you do not give in to your children for every want and whim.  She has no discipline.  I would stop all those other things and let her start doing some work around the house to earn her privileges.  You have to change, as well.  [/quote]
