Parents...harder to raise boys or girls?
Sharing some more of my morning reading...
************************************
Is it harder to raise boys or girls?
Highlights
Boys may not listen as well as girls because their hearing isn't as good from birth
Girls are rigged to be people-oriented, while boys are more action-oriented
Girls tend to grow up less confident and more insecure than boys
Boys are harder to raise early on, but girls become more difficult as preteens
**********************************
The part about a boy's hearing, that's interesting...it seems I've also heard somewhere that a man's hearing is less likely to pick up the higher frequency of a woman's voice...all this would explain allot!!!!
I'm not so sure that one sex is harder to raise than the other. I was a joy until I hit about 14, my older brother was the source of constant trauma and drama from very early on.

Re: Parents...harder to raise boys or girls?
I don't think my parents would decide either way, either, Chaz. Then again, it was 6 against 2! 6 boys, 2 girls. It probably evened itself out lol.
Now, here's my point of view.
My daughter is 13, next in line is my first son who is 12. It's definitely true in my household that my son doesn't listen as well. My daughter is much better at doin' what she's told. Kids have this thing called "selective hearing"... y'all know what I'm talkin' about 'cause it gets worse as you get older! 
It's kind of like it was with my parents, I think. With the girls, you worry about the whole "dating" and "boys" thing.. With boys, it's more of a "I hope he doesn't go outside today to do somethin' stupid and get himself killed or lose a limb!"
Maybe you're right, though. Maybe one isn't harder than the other. I have plenty of years to find out, but I think that certain things are harder to deal with between boys and girls... but they kind of balance out in the end.
That's how it's been for me so far, anyhow

When you've got boys and they grow up, you have to worry about what they do with their dicks. When you've got girls, you have to worry about what everyone else's boys do with their dicks.

Re: Parents...harder to raise boys or girls?
Very well put sir.  I have 2 boys and I think that I worried about them as much as any mother would worry about girls. My oldest was still a virgin when he married and has a great wife for 7 years now and a little girl. My youngest screwed around more than enough for the both of them when he was coming up. It is just by the grace of God that he did not come home with some disease. He impregnated 2 different girls. They both unfortunately had miscarriages or I would have 2 additional grandchildren. Thank goodness he has finally finished sowing his wild oats or at least I am pretty sure he has. Don't want to know any differently.

I think it depends on the child, it doesn't matter whether they are boys or girls, if they want to make things difficult for you, they will!!!
