[Avodah] mechiras yosef

[Eli Turkel]

The midrash partially blames Yaakov for the whole story with Yosef, because
he gave Yosef the ketonet pasim above what the other brothers got we went
down into Egypt.

  I recently heard a question from Rav Medan that he doesn't understand the
complaint. Yosef alone among the brothers has no mother. Thus, Jacob had to
act as both father and mother to Yosef. Thus, the other brothers got more
from their mothers and Yaakov was only making up for the lack of a mother
)Binyamin was too young to figure in any of this),
Similarly why should the brothers feel jealous of Yosef for receiving the
coat and not think that an orphan (from the mother) deserves a little more
attention

Any answers?
