[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really curious about this. It’s not just in my family but in a lot of my friends families as well. It seems daughters go up and beyond for their parents and sons are worthless. 
My mom was just placed in assisted living and one brother visits her weekly and my other brother rarely visits. She fell last night  and is in the hospital. My two brothers live 10 mts from the hospital and neither one has gone to see her. My one brother just called me asking when I was driving down to see her. I asked him why he hasn’t he gone to see her yet  and he moaned, “well I was going riding today”. My other brother said he was golfing today.  Fyi we’re talking about an amazing mother who would die for her kids and has always been there for us emotionally and financially(if needed).   I live hour and half away and drive down  to see her at least twice a week, sometimes 3. Of course I’m running to see her today. I just don’t get the mindset. [/quote]

Yes although I agree it is probably more socialization rather than genetic. I also know many families where daughters work much harder to care for parents and their own children. [/quote]
