It's Not Fair!

The story is found in the Bible in Luke 15.11-32 and it is called ‘The Prodigal Son’. (You may like to read the story directly from the Bible or use the paraphrase below.) Why are some teenage siblings so horrible to each other? “Teenagers are inherently alert to social threat,” Cleare says. “The developmental stage they’re going through is that they’re hypersensitive to any social threat, exclusion, not being liked. That can come into play with two teens together.” Alternatively, it could be about identity: “You’re striving for significance as a teenager,” she continues, “staking your claim to likes and dislikes and personhood. And sometimes you do that by being different from another person, and a sibling is a natural choice. ‘I’m not like them – they must be rubbish.’” Again, what you don’t want to do as a parent is get into the fray, because that just means three (or more) people fighting. “This is about modelling. We speak kindly to each other as adults; we speak kindly to our children.” Both fair and fare can be nouns, and both are quite common. But there are more senses of fare. meaning He is the author of more than 70 journal papers, has edited three books and has written many book chapters and other publications.

The young man fell at his father’s feet and begged for forgiveness. ‘I wasted all your money and I am no longer fit to be called your son,’ he said. ‘Please let me be one of your servants!’

When the older brother met his father, he said, ‘It’s so unfair. I have always obeyed you, I have worked like a slave for you and yet you have never done anything like this for me.’ Comment that there seem to be quite a lot of hands up, then ask each child to turn to the person next to them and share some of the unfair things that have happened to them recently.

Accept and appreciate what we have or take action to change it. Either path is healthy and empowering. Complaining about life’s unfairness is not an option. The two brothers in the story did not use the phrase, ‘It’s not fair!’ in a selfish way. Instead, they used it in a positive way as they tried to do something to make the situation fairer or more just. It’s not my fault. That’s not fair!” How many times has your child shouted this when she’s upset? Although it’s often difficult to know how to respond to this as a parent, understand that it’s normal for children and teens to feel this way from time to time. Kids have keener “fairness detectors” than we do because their perspective is still quite unrealistic. The danger comes in when your child holds onto this feeling of injustice all the time, and begins to feel like a victim chronically. When this happens, you will see her begin to use this stance to manipulate people and get what she wants.

In the song, Allen describes her relationship with a boyfriend to which she describes him as "the perfect guy" yet is frustrated at his sexual laziness. She furthermore describes the situation as "Not Fair" because while he plays the perfect boyfriend in every other way, he is selfish when it comes to their sex life ("all you do is take") – thus the song gives the impression that all his niceness and concern may have been just a face to get what he wants from his girlfriend without any genuine concern with her satisfaction and happiness.

But however it looks, if the children experience it as differential treatment, they will take that out on each other. “Sibling rivalry is about perceived or real injustice,” Barbieri says. “That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after 15 years of writing an advice column. It all comes down to that. Children are quite powerless: they’re not going to take their feelings out on the parents – they’re going to take them out on the weakest member. I don’t think parents are taught how much power they have, and how much is their responsibility.”
