In a family squabble, a mother is upset with her husband for giving expensive watches to their two sons not including their daughter. She feels that by excluding their daughter, he’s being unfair and possibly sexist. The husband argued that the gifts were just for the boys and that a similar gesture wouldn’t mean much to their daughter.
The mother believes this decision was disrespectful to their daughter and is frustrated that her husband isn’t seeing it that way. She’s demanding an apology and feels that the exclusion points to a bigger issue of gender bias in their family.
The husband, however, insists his choice was reasonable and that the watches were meant to be special for the boys. He’s not keen on discussing it further or saying sorry, which only makes the argument more heated.
Whether the mother’s reaction is justified depends on the perspective. Some might agree with her, seeing her concerns about fairness and gender treatment as valid. Others might think she’s overreacting and that the husband’s reasons weren’t fully understood.
This disagreement shines a light on family dynamics, gender expectations, and how important it is to communicate openly. The resolution will depend on how well the family can understand each other’s feelings and find a way to address the issue that respects everyone’s emotions.

Clearly NTA. Just curious, what do your sons think about his actions? Are they sticking up for their sister? Not only is your daughter now learning that her time with dad isn’t as valuable as your sons time is, but they too are seeing that it’s OK to treat their sister/women in general as afterthoughts. I’d be very concerned about him reinforcing his misogyny within them.

That’s so incredibly hurtful. He’s going to regret that some day when she distances herself from him to protect her heart from further hurt. Or maybe he only cares about his sons anyway and won’t care. Who knows.
Please make a grand gesture for your daughter and make her feel special.

NTA. I (f) had three brothers and one year my dad gifted us all these chain type things with words engraved on them, they weren’t very girly but he still gave me one and I cherish it to this day. The year was also engraved on it, 2008, I have had it for twelve years and it still holds a special place in my heart. I would have been absolutely devastated if he had left me out of that.
NTA Yikes. It really says something that his life lesson to your sons was “to spend time where it matters.” I guess time spent with his own daughter clearly doesn’t matter.
Good on you to advocate for your daughter when your husband is clearly being misogynistic towards your daughter. I’m very glad she has you on her side. I hope you’re able to do something swell for your daughter, she deserves it.

You ought to point out to your husband that from this point forward your daughter may no longer see the value in the time they spend together, considering he thinks less of her than her brothers.edit:
