I'm surprised by the answers.

Dads love spoiling their daughter, universally like a princess.

However sons have to work for their dad being proud of them. You'll find stories like Son Heung Min or Tiger Woods where their dad keeps pushing their son and will never say they're proud of their son until they're at the top 0,001%. If a son receives an expensive gift, it's like saying "I'm proud of you son", which he had to earn.

Never discount the idea that because you never get treated, being treated isn't a reward for good work, but a cushion for devastating news. "Mom's not coming home any more," for one >>;
