An interesting perspective

My 2 -1/2 year old son is momy's pet. We can say n-number of reasons why he is mom's boy (she spends more time with him, does whatever his needs are etc.). However, in general son's turn out to be Mom's pet and girls turn out to be Dady's pet. The main reason behind this is, one doesn't call it a bluff on the human being of opposite sex. Dad knows the ins & outs of a boy and he can easily visualize himself as that kid, so he doesn't really buy into the sons' tantrums. Whilst the mom though she understands this, she can't call it a bluff and plays into him. The son thinks, Mom doesn't know and happy that he tricked her into believing him. The fact is she knows whats' happening but somehow is unwilling to play it straight while she has no qualms playing it straight to her daughter. To hide this fact the Mom would come up with umpteen reasons saying its a girl and she would be marrying into another family etc. But all these explanations are vail over the fact that she knows the bluff and calls it a bluff when it comes to girls. This vice versa between Daddys and girls.
