Life is about balance. One needs to learn to maintain one. Boys getting away with so much might be privileged at first sight, but that always comes with a prices.

I know a story of a boy that had it all. He never had to crave anything, mom always provided and was very caring and protecting.

Long story short - in gym class at 13 years old, he felt like a log. He never learned to stretch his arms to protect his face. Mom never allowed for anything to happen to him. She actually robbed him of developing a vital reflex.

Do you see the pattern? Too much positives without equal negatives creates imbalance. And one has to put a lot of effort to restoring balance, or 'pay' the consequences.
