Do you tell the child wanting the expensive thing they can't have it because their sister only wants an easel?
Do you tell the easel child they must pick something more expensive?
Do you buy the easel child things they've neither asked for nor want to make up the cost?
Or
Do you get the DS for one child and the easel for the other because it is what they've asked for and it will all even out in the end when the older child has outgrown gadgets and wants clothes vouchers and the younger child still wants the newest consoles?
I am being an evil mummy again.
The child wanting the easel is also getting a fish tank with filter, pump, heater and light from someone else and a hand crafted miniture gypsy style sweet cart. We will need to source the fish, gravel, plants, water testing kits and chemicals, which I am certain are not cheap and fill the cart with sweets.
The older child is getting a hand crafted dolls house all set up and ready to go, we will need to add nothing.

If one child asks for a 3DS XL and the other only asks for an Easel and paints WWYD?
