I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

What do you think of the saying, "you raise a daughter, you spoil a son."? An article I came across recently stated this and it was written by a psychologist so wasn't just some random person. It confirms what I've long suspected and seen in my own life. I experienced it in my home and saw it in a lot of my friends' families as well. Boys are raised with a bigger sense of entitlement than girls typically are. Of course this is not always true. I've known plenty of girls who were spoiled rotten but in most cases they didn't have brothers. And no not all boys are spoiled or even treated well. It's just generally true and I've heard some men say they had it easier than their sisters did.
