Is it true teen girls all get along better with their dads than their moms? Probably not, but I see this in LOTS of stories about teen girls (Wednesday Addams, Turning Red, Ms. Marvel, Brave, Emily Windsnap, etc.). And even stories where the girls aren’t the protagonist (Mrs. Doubtfire, Everything Everywhere All At Once). I wonder if there’s truth to this.
(Emily Windsnap might be the most extreme example. Where she spends WAY less time with her dad, and never even met him until age 12, yet gets along way better with him.)
