The Challenging Unfairness Between Siblings
When Little L was little C bent over backwards to make sure that her
baby sister had everything she had. Cookies were split evenly. Toys were
shared with no hesitation. And the only time C got upset was when
Little didn't get what she had also received.
Fast forward two years and the tables have turned. Now Little L makes sure C gets the same things she gets. She asks the cashier at Trader Joes for extra stickers and an extra lollipop for her sister. She tells C whenever I'm about to do something fun to make sure she comes. And she includes her in all the conversations she can, even when C is moping.
Sadly, instead of being grateful for her sister's attention, C seems to resent it.
