Is it fair to treat your daughter like a celebrity, while treating your son like a...

...stray cat? It was on a holiday, where most of college students who stay in hostel would go back to their hometown. But not me, 19 and my brother, 22. (Our colleges and hostels are different). So if there’d be very least people left in my place, then the same should go to my brother’s. Just that he stays in the dorm-type hostel, whereas I’m at an apartment-house hostel. As for that holiday, I wonder if mom actually knew if I was at my apartment alone, as all of my housemates went home. But a thing for sure, she wasn’t agreeing about me staying back during the 5 days break. So I’ve been rejecting dozens of her phonecalls during the day, because I knew she’d force me to go home. But in the end, I felt guilty and decided to answer her, at a late night where she is already nearby (with my bro in law driving the car) in order to pick me up, as she got so worried about me. After seeing her going through so much in order to get me, I can’t help it but to follow her and go home. But the thing is, she wasn’t worried much about my brother for not going home. I asked her why only worry about me but not my brother along. She said, “coz he’s a man”

So, is it fair to treat your children differently according to their gender like this?

I’m so like the star, and brother is like the stray cat. I felt sorry for him allot.

My sister and I were treated very differently also - It's definitely not fair to the children. In the defense of parents though - I'm sure they love both of you very much and it's got to be very hard to treat two totally different people exactly the same.
