When Treating Kids the Same Is Actually Unfair
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
Many parents try to treat their kids equally in order to be fair. But equal does not always mean just. When we respond to every situation the same way, we ignore context, responsibility, age, and intent. Over time, this can actually harm kids instead of helping them.In this episode, we talk about why fair parenting is not about equal rules or identical consequences. It is about discernment. You will learn why blanket equality often robs children of agency, minimizes real harm, and creates resentment in families.This episode covers:Why equal consequences can be unfairHow to handle sibling conflict wiselyWhen age and maturity should change expectationsHow privileges should match responsibilityWhy victims need different responses than initiatorsHow to parent with fairness without constant argumentsIf you have ever felt torn between being fair and being wise, this episode will help you parent with clarity and confidence.🎉 SUPPORT ON TAP Mother U https://mother-u.com Life School At Home (my community that helps prepare kids for life!) https://www.lifeschoolathome.com It's All My Fault (weekly quiet time resource for the Christian people-pleasing, over-functioning, guilt-ridden mama) https://learn.mother-u.com/iamf YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c@motheru Instagram https://www.instagram.com/motheruwithrachel/
