The Queen of Fair

Well...it's been awhile since my last post.

Awhile ago, I was watching that show "Anderson" and it was about parents having favoritism for one child.  It made me feel crazy inside,i probably also yelled at the t.v.!  I have said for as long as I can remember that my mom is "the Queen of fair", she has always always been fair with everything.  In the show one of the moms said she has more fun and enjoys doing things with her older daughter more than her youngest.  They were also saying that the eldest child is often the favorite because they are first born.  If someone was to ask me if it was a bad thing being a middle child  when i was 14....i would have said "yes, I'm always left out."  Do i think that now? NOT A CHANCE!  I was really thinking about this, and thought it's a blessing to be in the middle, Because I have an older sister to look up to, and a younger sister who i can be a good role model to!  My mom has always been fair to me and my sissys, even now she's still the queen of fair.  Amanda and I are 2 years apart, Hannah and I are 4 years apart, so things for Han in high school were alot different than me and mand.  just cuz the times had changed....cell phones were needed and rides to school were needed more often.
i think my mom even asked me and Manda if that bothered us that Hannah had a cell phone and we didn't....and the times had changed dramatically in high school...so it didn't bother us.
I do feel lucky to have my parents the way they are.  They are there to help us always, and support us in whatever we choose to do!  my sissys and me all have different things we are interested in and my parents are very clued into those things.
The other week my Dad picked me up from my house and I thanked him for it, and he said "oh id do anything for you Laura", so simple just so sweet.  he really is the sweetest man I know, I feel so lucky to call him dad, and I cant wait till he gets called "grandpa"!!

  1. I agree with you Laura, about your dad. I never felt self conscious around him, I knew he always loved and respected everyone. When I was living in Idaho, shortly after getting married, he was the first to come and visit. It meant the WORLD to me. He really is one of the sweetest men in the world.
