Mother Daughter Father Son

The relationship between a father and his son and a mother and her daughter are in a sense, quite different. However, I think that in many ways, they are the same once you get past the gender differences. The one major difference that I have seen is that I feel mother’s are harder on their daughters than fathers are their sons.

During my childhood, I lived with one brother and one twin sister. When we went to high school, my brother went to college. As a result, I’ve been able to pay close attention to the way that my parents treat my sister, and the way that they treat me. My sister is what people would call a “Daddy’s Girl” and I’m what most people would call a “Mama’s Boy.” M father feels that my sister can do no wrong, however my mother frequently gets her in trouble. Things that my sister does are essentially magnified when dealing with my mother. She is noticeably harder on her, however they still maintain a great relationship. On the flip side, my mother feels that I can do wrong, however she is much more lenient and understanding with me than she is with my sister. My father is neither hard on me nor soft. He is about in the middle of it all. He gets me in trouble when I deserve to get in trouble, and he’s cool when it is not necessary. We do not have the stereotypic “go to the park and play catch” relationship, but I also have a strong relationship with my father.
