Do sons get treated better in your experience?

Question

do you treat your children a little bit differently or were you treated differently from your brother or sisters.

Answer 1

i don't treat any of my children differently (including my stepson) . however, i do dicsapline according to age. if my 12 & 8 year old do the same thing a day or 2 apart, depending on what it is, the 12 year old gets it worse because he knows better, period. if one has been warned, and the other hasn't and they do the same thing, the one that was warned from before gets it worse, etc. i have a son & daughter. i don't treat them any differently. i have a different bond with my son thatn i do with my daughter, but i don't love either any more or less. and yes, i was the first of 4 siblings. i got punished more because it was the first my parents dealt with it. when my siblings would do the same thing, they would change the punishment accordingly. so i was the guinea pig-but my parents are awesome and i love them dearly.

Answer 2

why are you so obsessed with boys vs girls? I am having a daughter and am thrilled, but would be just as thrilled with a son. You should be happy just to have a healthy baby.

Answer 3

sons are more violent but honest if they hate you. girls lie and are bitchy

Answer 4

I'm a woman and have 1 sister and 1 brother.

My sister got away with everything, if she murdered my brother and I she would get away with it!

My dad was very strict with my brother and I.

Rules were strict, we had to be in by 18:30, had to do 2 chores everyday, take it in turns to clean the bathroom, kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Sweep the garden, walk the dogs, water the plants, wash up, clean the cars ... you get the idea.

My sister now stays at home sitting on her bum all day, my brother and I are heading for exciting careers and a decent life.

I think the 'strictness' and threat of 'get good grades or you get no Christmas' worked rather well - don't recommend it though!

Answer 5

I do not treat my kids differently.  My husband favors our son, and it is very obvious.  My father favored my brother as well (very obvious to my sisters and I.)  Boys get away with SO MUCH MORE, especially if you have more girls than boys.

Answer 6

def treated different from my sister. she could do no wrong, i can do no right. it goes both ways though. i know a girl who has the opposite problem.  

Answer 7

My parents treated us all about the same. There are five. But also differently because we are all really different. But I wouldn't say one was treated better than another except my baby brother got a way with a lot of stuff :)

Answer 8

i think parent sare more proud of the sons, for some strange reaons, they can do no wrong.
