Which are easier boys or girls??

blue72 wrote: Being the mom of 3 very active little boys, I question it when people tell me boys are easier. I don't doubt they will be easier as they grow older. I image 3 teenage daughters would be a handful. So my question to you moms of both boys and girls is this, are little boys easier than little girls.

Bee_Kay replied: I have a son and a daughter.
They are VERY different.

My son is much easier.... he is always happy and very laid back. He wakes up smiling almost every morning.

My daughter is a bit higher to maintain. She is moodier, crabbier and she does cop a bit if an attitude (she is 14). My daughter wakes up complaining that she is tired, or she is thirsty, or her breath is terrible !!! LOL

They are both wonderful children and very unique. Ty is just easier I guess.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Well since I'm on my way to have two boys, everyone keeps telling me that boys are easier. My sister has three girls, so it will be interesting to compare. I think it's all the same when they're little, but I do agree that boys are probably much easier as teenagers.

mckayleesmom replied: Well...so far my son is alot easier then my daughter.

BAC'sMom replied: As a mother of (3) ~ 2 boys and one girl. I would have to agree Boys are easier as of right now at this age. I think they have far more energy, but my two are mostly sweet and a pleasure to be around . Now as for my daughter she is our little Drama Queen . I have people tell me they feel sorry for my daughter because she is the middle child, trust me she keeps my boys in line. I tell them feel sorry for the boys!

Edward's Mommy replied: All the women who have come before me and had boys and girls have said that boys are easier because they don't hide their feelings. Girls are moody and crabby and NEVER want to talk about their feelings.

blue72 replied: I would agree that boys are much easier in the attitude department. My boys don't crab and sass. It is their activity level which I am finding difficult to deal with. They NEVER sit still and I absolutely dread the fact of potty training another boy!

ediep replied: well, I only have 1 and he is pretty darn difficult!!!

My friend has a boy and a girl anf he says the boy is wwaaayyyy more difficult

MamaJAM replied: I have 3 girls and 2 boys....I don't think I can say one gender is easier or harder than the other.

C&K*s Mommie replied: sorry to be the other dissenting voice, but I agree with Judy. It has more to do with the whole make-up~ nurture & nature. The easiness has less to do with the sex, and more to do with other factors. Some of which they were born with. JMHO.

MamaJAM replied:
Exactly!
My youngest DD has so many of the characteristics of a 'typical boy' -- everytime another mother would say how "lucky" I was to just have my 3 girls and not have to deal with this-and-that of having boys - I'd say "Then you haven't met DD#3!". My boys have many 'boy traits' - but at the same time are much calmer than DD#3 was at the same ages.

I think how easy/hard a child is is about the 'whole package' not their gender.

With boy/girl twins, I have to say I'm a bigger believer than ever in "nature" over "nurture". He is all boy, she's such a girl. He's a little easier, she's already got to have her hair a certain way, always has to wear a dress, definitely high maintenence. He does have a few difficult traits, like stubborness, but overall he's a little easier. (Notice I said a "little" easier!)

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: MY boy is easier than my girl...and most of the boys I know are lower maintenance than the girls. obviously there are always exceptions but in my experience boys are easier...(fingers crossed for a low maintenance boy here)

5littleladies replied: Well I don't have any but I'm going to say BOYS! There's no way a boy could be more difficult than my girls.
