So the oldest is 6, youngest is 2.5. And they don't understand why they have different responsibilities and/or privileges.
The six year old is angry that he has to clean his room, do chores, etc. and little brother has minimal requirements. He "helps" to clean, but has no independent jobs like big bro.
The two year old hates that he can't use stamps & play with markers. And why doesn't he go to school?
How do you keep life "fair" for each kid while acknowledging their frustrations? What do you do when your six year old leaves his markers & stamps around for the little one to find. Little one then displays his artwork on the walls & furniture!!! Yikes. Guess we have a lot to learn!
