Are Boys more the favourite sibling than girls

[Ridgley]

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.

Surely if they are a Gemini or/and have a split personality that's allowable?

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.

Maybe it is because mothers want their daughters to take advantage of different opportunities if they didnt have them. Odd though my mother stopped doing my ironing for me in my early teens, still does my brother's who is 25..

[womanofdulwich]

I think thats how they are d o t. What i don't understand is why men usually get away with this for the rest of their lives.??

[dita-on-tees]

because all women turn into their mothers!

it is 100% right i am asian indian and my 4 brothers were treated different and also most of my uncle and aunts kids were treated different i have two kids 1 girl 1boy i treated them both the same at the end of the day they both are human

[SteveT]

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.

TEACH small boys the value of money by bursting their football. They will have to work to earn enough money to buy a replacement.
