[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my large family, there is a huge difference between the way that the boys are treated vs. the girls. It has become painfully apparent to me that my father's only expectation of his daughters was for them to get married and have children (much like our mother). Ironically, despite the low expectations and minimal time/resource commitment, the girls in the family are far more educated and successful than the boys. The older we get the more I sense that my father is actually repulsed by his very independent daughters. Sad.[/quote] That's at play in my large family too. The expectations for girls and boys are very different. In my dad's dreamland, all his daughters would marry rich dudes and becomes SAHMs. Hasn't happened -- except for my SIL, who married my rich brother. [/quote]
