Hello,
I would suggest that you pay a little more attention to your youngest, Lucy. She is different because she had a nanny instead of you. Even so, I think she had good contact with both of you, so a nanny is nothing that would cause any problems. I think you should justify the choices you made for her childhood. Invite the nanny over even when you are at home. Make Lucy understand that you appreciate thew nanny, and she will se that it was a good alternative, valuabled by you. I don't think you should treat Lucy differently from the other 3, but ou should care more about the difference that already is there. It will make Lucy special to you, and you special to Lucy.
