who you think its more difficult to raise boys or girls....

[haniotis]

Girls in my opinion.

[bud1]

Both can cause the same headaches

[mstout1221]

Boys are definitely easier to raise

[derrick12480]

Boys are easier after 5 years old and girls before 5. I think both are horrible once they turn 13. Especially girls if you're a dad because you try harder to keep them out of trouble. Of course they get away with more being daddies little girl. So it equals out.

Can you give more details on why this is? I don't have any kids, so this is eye-opening!

I am one of nine children 7 girls and 2 boys and my mother said that the boys were easier to raise do not know why that is the case must be about nature not nurture as boys are pushed to be more independent and less rely on Mom
I raised two girls and had some difficulties but nothing out of the ordinary my sister raised a girl and 2 boys and she seems to think it was a toss up. So is it nature or nurture that makes the difference??

I have a nearly 4 year old boy -- none of these 4 years have been easy -- but I think girls in teenage years are difficult --- at least I know I was difficult for my parents.

I disagree ! Boys are much more expensive and there for are more difficult !

Boys are messier and more likely to play destructive, expensive pranks.

in my personal experience, my girl had deifnitely been harder to raise than my son was. now i don't know if thats because i worked when my son was little but have not worked at all since my daughter was born so with her its 24/7 and with him i used to be able to get away everyday. it could also be that with my son, i called the shots what i said was what flew, yet with my daughter it seems like i am always up against my husband on how certain situation should be handled. prime example: my son slept in his own crib, then in his own bed. there were times (when he was sick, or had nightmares) when he would sleep with me but those night were very very rare. my daughter on the other hand, well i had her sleeping in her crib from day one. at about 6weeks old she had a cold and myhusbnd insisted on sleeping with her on his chest. yes, you guessed it, she hasn't left our bed since. not a problem 5 nights a week because my husbadn works graveyard now but on his nights off it would be nice if we didnt have a 3 year old between us

boys in my culture, but for me, the same, it doesn't matter how they are and how to raise. but both really can make trouble for your life and you need to care of them all the time. especially this period. not safe and they want to stay out, outdoor kids!

[Jessica_lynn]

I think that there are both headaches but I think girls would be harder to raise because they are girls lol They get there periods, they are drama queens, they fall in love with boys, they sneak out, worrying about pregancy, Cost more money, they need makeup, tampons, more clothes, etc.. They are pickier, They complain more, lol Us women are straight out harder than boys I believe. lmao

I have three  boys and they are easy to take care but when they grow up they want to run the house, my son has tried and i had to put my foot down, i had to remind him that i run the show or he can do is be there when i need him and be the man of the house when needed but not tell me what to do and what not to do. whenthey grow up they just seem to forget who is the parent..figure i share this with you guys....
