Why do some mothers treat their sons better than their daughters?
So my bro and I were living together. He was always late with his half of rent she would take up for him and day we'll atleast hes paying something.
I couldn't throw him out bc I got into an accident and lost my job and could never recover. If I wasn't ubering down to school( nursing) I was at court ... eventually I got evicted.
I was the only one that cleaned the place up my brother high tailed it to my mom's 4 days earlier .. now me and my kids are with my mom and I can sense the resentment. Whenever my daughter needs something my mom always says, " ask yout mother" everytime she needs a juice box opened she says here and hands it to me.
I always get up at 7a and by noon I'm taking the kids out for 4ish hours and return when it's time for my mom to go to work..so she can get some sleep.
I sense the resentment.. I never left my kids with my mom for days at a time, I've always cared for them alone, helped my mom financially and sometimes I was the only person getting her bday gifts.
Yet she wants me to chauffer my 35yr old brother around..I don't understand it. When I get my tax money I'll go into a hotel of my own for a peace of mind. Until then what can I do to remain sane?

My mom had my sister, then me, then there’s a 7 almost 8 year gap between me and my first half brother, Everything that we were told we couldn’t do or have, they got. TV’s in their bedrooms, laptops whenever they asked, game systems (we never got anything besides a ds) For my mom her explanation of like no tv or computer in our bedrooms for us as girls was the safety aspect, she didn’t feel the same dread or worry with her sons having access to the internet I guess. But it’s still annoying as fuck to look back at how my life went vs how my brothers got to live. In the same house.

Sometimes I’ve noticed with moms that the husband isn’t either involved at all or just kinda there the moms sub their sons for the love and attention they don’t get from their partners. There’s also the idea of looking at the daughter has competition and there’s resentment there. There’s sooooo many different theories out there but I think those are the main ones that I come across. Also the idea that boys love their mom more “mommy’s boy” “daddy’s girl” kinda thing.
