I was raised in a similar household, where efforts were made to keep everything <i>fair.</i> My parents told me that fairness was Biblical. Have I got news for them!! I'll tell you what I tell my daughters: "<i>FAIR</i> went out of style back in the Garden of Eden. God told Adam and Eve that if they ate the Forbidden Fruit, they would surely die. Yet, God let them live, plus he gave them fashionable clothes! Was that fair? No. It was God's job as a parent to show mercy. Now, do you want me to do what's fair, or would you prefer <i>mercy</i>?"
