Moms and their Sons

Why is it that moms spoil their sons more than their daughters. I say this because my mom spoils my brothers to death. She has done so much for them. Her daughters didn't get, and don't get, all of the attention and things they get. Whatever they want and even what they don't want they get. And it isn't only my mom, from watching my friends moms and other peoples mom I notice that they spoil the boys. They are constantly saying, "My poor son, my poor little baby. Let me help you. What do you need? Let me get it for you." What is up with that. Hello your daughter needs more help.

Isn't a guy suppose to be a man and be able to take care of himself. Doesn't society paint the man as the strong one and provider. Even in this day in age they still make more money than women. For what? What do they do that is so special? I just don't see it.

It is acceptable for them to get stressed and get upset when they are stressed and things don't go their way. Yet when women do this then it is a sign of weakness and they are exagerating. They can't handle things because they get upset. But from what I have experienced they can handle more than any man.

A man has the right to runaway from his children and go with his buddies when they are annoying or bothering him but a woman has to deal with the children. If he is stressed it's ok for him to go out but what does a women get to do?

I have seen my mom and sisters deal with their kids even when they are an emotional wreck. They don't show their sadness and worries, they try to find a solution to the problem. If they need money then they are willing to get another job. They will do whatever it takes to provide for their children. They have to worry about working, getting home and cook, clean and take care of the house. While the man gets to get home and watch TV and sit around because he is tired from work and needs to relax. The women is always on the move while the man gets to rest.

I see my mom working and coming home to cook for my brothers. She babies them. Now that they are going to school she is worried about them and helping them out with their school supplies. Anything that they need they get. But it isn't and wasn't the same with her daughters. We had to take care of ourselves. I had to buy my own things for school and take care of everything that dealt with school. I was left on my own because she moved to Idaho. The only people I had were my sisters but they had their families to take care of and couldn't help me because they hadn't gone to college. I missed my home and family when I left to school but I had to suck it up and get accustomed to it and deal with it. My mom is worried about my brothers being alone in school. What about me? I needed someone but didn't have anyone.

My brothers are so lucky to have me and my sister help them out. They also have my mom buy what they need for them. They are men, aren't they suppose to be able to take care of themselves. They are men so they should start acting like it.

Even though I am complaining about this I wouldn't want my brothers to go through what I did. I am also glad they have someone to help them out because it sure wasn't easy for me.

So this brings me to my other point. Are women to blame for how men act. We allow them to whine and complain and just sit there and do nothing while we try to fix everything for them. Do we make it acceptable for them to break down while we are not allowed to? I wonder? It isn't an excuse for their behavior but it could be a reason.
