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.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
