[quote=Anonymous]If you are not close to your cousins, but this is at the root only about "Their parents included them and in fairness, I should be included too" --well, the definition of "fair" that I always used with my kid was this: "Fair does not mean that everyone gets the same thing; it means everyone gets what he or she most needs." I have to be honest and say I find this way of thinking completely obnoxious unless you are dealing with a child who has special needs. Otherwise it is just the parent making a decision on behalf of the kid, without their input, on their "need". If your kids are complaining then they don't think their needs are being met. Just admit you don't want to give them whatever it is they want and move on, but don't pretend everything is "fair". [/quote]
