I mean, statistically, female offspring do more caregiving for their elderly parents and such, so I think there's some truth to it

These TikTok boys moms definitely believe it. These weird videos talking about “I loved him first”. The mom who yelled at the Bride during her vows because she said “I love you even with your flaws” “MY SON DOESN’T HAVE ANY FLAWS”.

Agree with

My brother and my parents are still very close. Talk once a day, see each other often, we all vacation together, etc. But I do more of the help and care taking if that makes sense.

Why wouldn’t he be your son anymore?

Mmmm maybe?? I only have step brothers so I don't know the dynamic.

In Asian culture it’s the opposite. When a girl marries she moves into his home town to start being a good daughter in law to his parents and if that means she’s 4hrs away then she only comes home 1-2* a year if that. Boys, tend to stay w the family and when they marry they bring a wife home to their parents that’s one of the reasons why China loves boys so much and so many baby girls are in orphanages. Boys carry on the family name, work in the family business and bring a wife home. Girls get “married off”.
That's really interesting, it sounds similar to some Pakistani families here in the UK.

Yes many Asian and south East Asian cultures are like that.
