You brought up the analogy of parenting... Moms and Dads in general have very different parenting style. With multiple children, women try to strive for fairness between sibilings...men tend toward Occam's Razor (the simplest solution). So, if you have 10 cookies to divide among 4 siblings, a mom would most likely give each child two cookies, and then make sure the last two cookies were cut in perfect halves. Unless on child doesn't want 2.5 cookies and returns one whole one to the communal jar. Then the mother will attempt to redistribute it to the other children, either as one whole cookie if only one child wants another cookie, or divided evenly between the number of children who want more cookies. A dad will say "Hey y'all...I got some cookies...who wants some?" and leave it to the kids to duke it out over them. Same thing with rush. Only we don't cut our PNMs in pieces when we have an odd amount.
