I hope your parents aren't playing favorites!
Usually parents are more protective of their daughters and allow the sons more um, adventures...

As a parent with both a son and a daughter, a parent doesn't care more about a daughter than a son. Sometimes, it may seem that way because a parent is more likely to hold that daughter to them as a protection measure. It is common for people to misconstrue the thoughts of a parent. The female is considered to be the weaker of the two genders. The male is thought of as being more independent and less likely to need added protection. I love my son very much, but I let him do more and be further away from me than I do my daughter.
It has a lot to do with the way individuals are raised and taught.

In my Italian Irish background the sons were are still are allowed to get away with anything under the sun. That is why I am happily married because my husband treats me like a wife not like a 5 year old daughter who has to ask permission for everything and my husband does not go overboard with having me submit to him for his own advantage how the boys were raised in our family were NOT how the girls were raised and I think it is BULL if the boys have the vehicular tools to get a girl pregnant they rules should be DOUBLY hard for them I have yet to see a young girl get her self pregnant.
Sometimes parents particular moms take strictness to a whole other extreme and are very unfair I did not receive full freedom until I moved out of the house when I got married at 24. I don't mean to sound harsh but it does get my back up when boys are allowed to do one thing and girls are allowed to do limited it is very hypocritical and each person has to give and account to God whether you are a male or a female.

I've seen some parents act more concerned about their daughters due merely to the fact that they are girls and not boys. However it is that you feel about that--sometimes it just tends to be the case. On the adverse though--I know some people very well that seem to have a great deal more care about their sons than they do their daughters. So really when it boils down to it, I think it is just dependent on the family...

Um... I didn't know they did.
There are some parents that have double standards for the two different genders, but I have never personally known any parent who cared less for their sons than for their daughters.

I agree with most of the posts - we don't care more about one gender of child than the other. I think some parents are more protective over girls than boys. Mine are still little. Girls, 8 and 5 and boy almost 4. I don't worry as much about him getting cuts and bruises - I think permanent scars look worse on girls than on boys.
A question I do have is "Why do so many parents care more about their kids than their spouse?"

Daughters are very special, we are ones who carry children, we have a sweet mind, and we are the provider of the world. Men are just as important, but their role is to provide for the wives and children and take care of them. Women in a sense have a better calling than men. Men don't exist without women.

I haven't seen that to be the case. How do you mean? Boys are raised to be tough, girls are raised to be mothers. Both are cared for well by parents (at least the ones who care)... just differently due to gender.

Perhaps they keep a tighter reign on them because they are worried their daughter might become pregnant.
However if you asked most parents about their children they would reply they love all their children equally.

its not that parents care more. They are just more protective of their daughter (escespally daddy's) they know the guys can hold there own and the girl they are dating won't hurt then physical or it rarely happens. Girls are the opposite guys can take addvantage of them.
