Woman Stands by Daughter Amid Husband’s Favoritism for Son, Escalating Marital Tensions and Accusations of Bias

You ought not to demonstrate prejudice in your role as a parent. Having said that, how would you react if your partner openly expressed his preference for your son over your daughter? Would you strive to make up for your husband's lack of affection, or would you just put up with it and treat your children the same way?

The story below is of a defensive mother. The original poster (OP) shares two children with her husband. Although OP has always loved her two children equally, it is clear that her husband preferred his son to his daughter. He felt that he had more in common with his son than with his daughter because they were both boys. Because of this, over time, his relationship with his son grew closer, while his distance from his daughter increased.

OP made the decision to act in order to atone for her husband's lack of affection for their daughter. Though she pledged never to favor any of her children, she started taking her daughter out for extravagant shopping sprees, lunch dates, and movie outings. For a while, this worked, but then things grew sour when OP declined to bring her son on a mother-daughter date at her husband's insistence, leading to a stormy confrontation between the two.

So, if you want to know the specifics of what happened, read the story below!  After you're done, don't forget to read about the stubborn aunt who, against the desires of his parents, takes in her 'rejected' nephew and causes a dramatic family conflict!
