Well the top ten rules should be all base on respect. Every person in the family ought to be respected, everyone. And everyone in the family deserves to have their needs met, whatever those basic needs in the family is not going to be the same. Equal isn't fair. So if you have a small child and an older child, you're not gonna give them equal things. You're gonna base them on their age. If you have a child with special needs so it's gonna be equal they're gonna need a lot of resources to help them with that special needs. You have an illness in the family then so it's gonna be equal, what's fair is you make an extra effort to help that person that has some illness to get better.
