As a dedicated parent, I do my utmost to ensure fairness for my children. I pour their drinks with care, making sure no one gets more than their share. I share equal stories from their baby days to avoid favoritism, and I maintain a balanced number of photos of each child throughout our home. Despite my best intentions, though, I often hear complaints that I love one of them more than the others. After keeping track of their grievances, it’s clear that their lives are filled with injustices. Here’s a humorous look at the 50 things they claim are unfair:
- They must shower every night if they smell—yes, even right after a previous shower!
- My coffee? Off-limits.
- Carrying their own school bags to the car? A hard life!
- Ben discovered a lone chocolate chip, but Lily and Evan had to wait until the next day for their sweet treat.
- Crust on bread? A serious injustice.
- No blasting Minecraft videos while I’m working in the kitchen.
- Morning wake-ups? Totally unfair.
- And bedtime? The worst.
- Jumping in puddles with new shoes? I just don’t understand!
- If it’s chilly (below 35 degrees), they must wear a jacket.
- Eating upstairs? Not allowed!
- Lily gets a 15-minute head start on TV time.
- As the oldest, she’s racked up way more screen time than the boys.
- School nights mean no outdoor fun past 7:15.

- But will she miss all the fun at home? Absolutely.

- They never get to stay home from school just because.
- No kittens for any of them.
- Or any pets at all, for that matter.
- Haircuts? The worst.
- Dinner choices are not entirely in their hands.
- Remote controls? No storing them in their rooms.
- Cutting toenails—such a chore!
- Using my computer? Nope!
