Terry,
Ya think?? Really?? I can see where the big head and the little head gang up on everyone.....................yeah,well...............NOPE! Girls are MUCH easier!
My daughter never broke any bones in her body......my son, 5..........TWICE, the same arm, the same bones, after 6 yrs..so we can;t say it rebroke..........
My daughter paid attention during THAT lecture...y'know, the one about the birds and the bees and cross-pollination..........my son didn't...
My daughter is married, living happily with her husband, my son, at home, trying to 'get ahead".............
Anywhoo, GOOD try, Terry!

I dunno. Never raised a boy, but I'm seriously glad that I never had to.

After I taught a week-long fly-fishing class to a group of 8-14-year-old girls and boys, I can seriously say that boys are flippin' aliens.

Girls, I understand...but boys...hoo-haw. Boys don't have the sense that God gave a goose. It's a wonder they survive 'till they're thirty.

Best,

George

Reply #8 - Jun 19^th, 2008 at 10:29am Well I only have a son, so I cannot make any comparisons, but I think it depends on the child, not necessarily the gender. It seems to me that making a blanket statement that raising boys is easier would be naive at best, but that's my two cents.

I can settle this, HAMSTERS are easiers to raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 boys, 1 girl. The 16 y/o boy has been the bane of my existence for a year or more, (he's turning into a human now though which is nice), my 14 y/o daughter, hells bells, save me now, I won't survive, she seems to think that she can do as she damn well pleases if it weren't for hair colour I"d look like my 70 y/o g'ma and be all silver and white; my soon to be 8 y/o boy has broken 2 arms, suffered multiple injuries, has a fascination with weapons, and thinks he is actually in charge....

Now this all wouldn't be so terrible if they all had average to below average intelligence, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO they have to excel at EVERYTHING they do, including academics.....YOU try and win an argument with a child that is in the 98th percentile in the nation on the 'new' terra nova testing.....it ain't easy!

So of course I resort to the one thing that I swore that I would never do:

I state rather loudly, and emphatically: "BECAUSE I SAID SO" Wink

In all honesty though, as babies, boys are easier, far fewer cracks and creases to clean when changing a diaper Wink

Yup. Well said Beth.

I have 5 of each. In my experience boys are much easier to handle. When you yell at a boy for something they've forgotten about it in 20 minutes. Girls sulk for a day or more.

Physical injuries can be mended. It's the psychological battles of will that are really draining.

Till now I had found that girls mature much faster than boys. However my 17 y/o daughter is apparently the exception to that rule. She's killing me.

What sustains me through it all is that I know they will love me again in their 20s. In the mean time I just have to stay the course and be consistent. I'm not their friend I'm their Dad.

Ain´t got no kids, don´t want ´em either.
We´ve 8 ferrets though and all I can say that even here is that from the three ladies, 2 are the worst in dealing socially with others. Maybe it´s a sign for human nature to be of an animal one to be as well. Oh I don´t know, can´t really judge on how human children are. Except for various nephews and nices, but the same goes for those. That boys are easier to raise.... why I wouldn´t know.
I´m sure others ´d know better.

I can't speak to experience with boys, having two daughters, but....

I must agree with Beth. Girls are drama queens - no question.
They are marvelous to raise until they hit their teens, then they are
mouthy little witches (with a b).

My daughters and I were from the time they hit high school until the time they moved out in to their own apartments were constantly, continuously and forever at odds. Once they left and were on their own, suddenly Mom wasn't such a dummy after all, and now that they are in their early 30's and having children of their own, Mom is GOD AND KNOWS EVERYTHING!. Who would thunk that???

As to raising boys, never did it, but I sure had an education as to how other boy parents raised their sons based on the guys my daughters dated. I truly pity their parents.

Oh, and BTW, yes Cat, hamsters are much easier to raise than either boys or girls.
