What happens when these are reversed?

>>Conditional love
Not sure why you think this is necessarily the case

Well, a father will love a child within a certain level of tolerance. If a child was a serial killer, it'd be the father who'd turn him in over the mother.
Fathers also have pride, and that pride is conditional. If that child failed to live up to that, the father would be disappointed, while still loving the child.

Now what would happen if those two roles were reversed? What would be the psychological consequences?

You got your stereotypes backwards, OP.

You are making up shit as if it's an absolute rule then asking us to explain it. I don't want to try to explain some made up bullshit world view that is clearly a product of your own daddy issues.

Not sure what you're trying to assume. Women have pride. Mothers will disown serial killer childs. Fathers can have no pride. Fathers can love serial killer children.
These aren't even "most fathers" or "most mothers", I'd say the ratio is probably closer to 60:40 realistically

Generally speaking they are reversed. The mother's love is based on her maternal instinct and she grows dependent on it, never valuing her creation for other more abstract reasons, when it becomes an awkward teenager everything falls apart. The father on the other hand becomes invested in his progeny, he wants to pass something on, he wants to prepare it for life and all its trials and tribulations, life is short and he wants to create happiness in it.
The misconception that a father's love is conditional arises when their offspring appears to be failing their expectations. This is only because of an error on the father's part. They got the idea their son should be a ballerina so he will be swimming in pussy yet his son decides to play basketball with a lot of big black guys or something.

A woman doesn't have any love for a child tho

What the fuck are you on about
>>3334615
This thread is gonna have a lot of people with conflicting answers.
>>3334732
nice assumptions, in my case it was completely backwards, my father didn't care about passing anything and my mother grew much more responsable with us when we became teenagers

They would simply be switched; however, the gender roles in parenting would be perhaps different

The kids in question wouldn't be born to begin with
