I was listening, to LBC this morning they mentioned a survey regarding siblings they said that majority of parents preferred boys to girls although they loved them equally this brought me to back when I was a child my parents definitely treated us differently than my brother especially in the Caribbean culture my brother was allowed to what he liked is that true in other households?

It would be so much easier to read if you put in the odd full stop, as it difficult to understand otherwise without reading it several times.


Anyway, I came from a family with 7 boys and one girl. She was known as Snow White. We were just Dwarves. I think we were all treated differently as we were all very different.

I think that on average there may be some truth with that- but may it is just one parent goes with one and one with the other. Quite a few families it is Father and daughter and mOther and son- or vica versa. I htink I heard the radio article and it was saying mums were much harder on their daughters than their sons and I think there is definitely some truth in that.

Being treated differently starts from the first day of suckling,


because boys are breast fed on average 1/3rd longer than their sisters.


This is because mum's allow boys to make greater demands on them than their daughters.


This one might think would make a difference to long-term survival, but it's not the case,


as girls are rather more durable and generally easier to raise than us ailing and sickly guys.


When the army lose some of their super-fit soldiers overnight on a foggy November evening they get helicopters with headlights to find them because the chances are some will die of exposure before daybreak.


When the army lose women over-night they leave them where they are, as they'll survive very well.

    • Where abouts are they? I haven't seen any
    • Yes, been on several over the last 12 years. They are one of the safest planes ever built. The Dreamliner has been in service since 2011 and currently about 1,150 are in operation every day. Safe as houses.
    • One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me.  Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there.  Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police. 
    • My thoughts exactly when I found them I was thinking hope she is OK, have a feeling her bag was maybe snatched and then these items were just thrown.. I'm sure the police will pass it on to the passport office I just didn't have the time to get over there anytime soon. And agree they wasn't very helpful at all unfortunately I felt I was causing a problem with just handing them in !!
