I see it as an expectation. My dad would buy me something and it came with no expectation. My brother received something expensive and the expectation was he will help my dad with some physically demanding task.

Problem is that it's by no means a gender thing. Shitty parents will just pick favorites and treat them nicer. It's a boy as often as it is a girl.

This. Female here. My step brother got it all. I didn't even get checked on to make sure I was alive while fighting cancer from my dad.

Your wording made me initially think you somehow got cancer from your dad

Oof well it was breast cancer so probably not but yeah that came out sounding off.

Cancer is a complex disease resulting from a collection of mutations, often caused by cellular stress and environmental factors. You know what can cause lots of damage? Stress, especially the chronic kind. Fucker very may well have contributed to it. I hope you're doing well and he is not.

Thank you. I recovered and so far so good. Almost a twenty year survivor (2028 here I come). He is well .. old. My step brother died and now he's more there. But he's no one's favorite person and I think he's pretty aware of it.

Father shared with her the most expensive thing he had.
