[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was kind of obnoxious to show that sort of over the top favoritism. You can’t blame her for pointing out the truth.[/quote]

Yup, agreed. [b]Always keep things equal in families. Always.[/b] You didn’t and this is what you get - hurt feelings.

Op, you sound like the dramatic one here. [/quote]
I so disagree. Even my five year old says “you get what you get and you don’t get upset.”
She spent a close amount on each gift. It’s hard to buy something personal for someone you don’t know as well. Once you’re adults, you need to stop counting “fairness” and let it go. Life isn’t fair. [/quote]

That phrase is used when handing kids things of relatively equal enjoyment or thought and is arbitrary in distribution. Like cutting up the bday cake and someone gets the flower and someone doesn’t, but you both get cake. Or there are two flavors of juice boxes, but everyone gets gets one. Bet your 5 year old would sing a different tune if her sister always got thoughtful, personal gifts from you on her birthday and she was always handed a gift card to a random store.

Don’t be deliberately obtuse. [/quote]
