“It’s not fair!”When siblings are involved, fairness is always up for debate — but in our house, it takes on a whole new meaning. Milo, our son who’s on the autism spectrum, often needs extra support to stay calm and regulated. That means his sisters, Nora and especially June, sometimes have to bend, compromise, or give him space — even when it doesn’t feel fair.In this episode, we share a recent Saturday morning that started with pancakes and playtime... and quickly turned into a full-blown showdown over a kitchen seat and a bin of Legos. What unfolds is a moment every parent of multiple kids can relate to, but with the added layers of parenting a child with autism, where keeping the peace sometimes means taking sides.We talk about what it means to “take his side,” how that impacts June, and the constant balance between fairness, safety, and love in our family.Follow us on Instagram @beyondthelabel440.
