Next time when your daughter's not included explain to her that you and she will do something special together - one on one time. I don't know if it's to late to try this now. Maybe go to the park together, movies(if not too expensive), make some cookies or go to the dollar store and do a craft project. The whole idea is you want to take the focus off her feeling left out and re-focus, that this is an opportunity for quality mother/daughter time. My youngest sometimes feels she's getting the short end fot he stick because the older one gets to do more things. I know parenting can be very frustrating sometimes but in the end it's all worth it. Try to think how she feels. I hope this helps.

I TOTALLY get how she is feeling about this. It's been an issue in my husband's family with the ages of the cousins. It's a bit easier on my side since my nephews are 7, 4 & 3. She has calmed down, but Crash has a hard time doing anything we ask! No matter what is going on...
