[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you provided the older children with the same or similar support that you are providing the 23 and 21 YOs, the older children have no reason to be jealous.  However, if you told them that they were on their own at age 18 and now are supporting your younger kids past that age, they have reason to be upset.

If you have generally been fair, then you need to just ignore their drama.[/quote]

Sorry, I hit reply too soon. You need to give a lot of thought to whether you are treating them fairly. Did your older DDs get the same level of financial support when they were the younger DDs’ age? Do you give them equal attention?  Do you take sides or assume certain things about how each behaves? It’s interesting, for example, that you view your DD texting her sister’s BF as completely innocent.
I agree with those who said that’s weird unless there is a specific reason.

I think you should do the following:

1. Treat each DD as equally/ fairly as possible.

2. If they think something is unfair, consider whether you could do something differently, even if you don’t view your behavior as favoritism.

3. Don’t take sides in their arguments or talk about one without the other present.  [/quote]
