Buying DD a treat without buying for DS.

That makes it sound awful but hear me out.

DD has started having little accidents - not going to the toilet quickly enough so that she wets her knickers. We have tried not making a big fuss but that hasnt worked, so we have gone back to reward chart (which worked with her staying in her own bed really well).

So if she does 5 days of no accidents, she gets a treat. Today was the 5th day so I have got her a little fairy doll from wilko.

DH thinks that if I am going to buy DD a treat, I should buy one for DS too. My reasoning is that he gets pocket money £10 a week. But also, if I buy him a treat, DD will wonder why she has bothered iyswim.

AIBU? I am prepared to be told I am horrid.

It's fine, honestly I wouldn't think twice about it, just go with your original plan. I've 3 daughters and they all get different treats.

Dd1 (7) gets pocket money and the odd trip round Primark.

Dd2 gets no pocket money, but gets bought books a lot and once in a while a slightly more substantial toy.

Dd3 (2) she gets rewarded with stickers, stickers and more stickers.

They all do quite well out of their different arrangements!

He's 12, I thought you were going to say 5 or 6 as well. He can understand that this is to toilet train her.

If he commented I would tell him I would happily buy him a fairy doll too.
