I often hear that boys are easier than girls from a parenting perspective. These same “experts” say girls are easier when they are young, but it changes as they become teenagers. With three boys I don’t have much to go on. What say you?

I had to go with equal.
They are both tough depending on the stage they are in. And girls. Yeah, girls are definitely more difficult when they get older (IMHO). I think this has less to do with them and more to do with dad’s just not getting the girl stuff. Not without a whole lot of effort anyway.
- Have a good weekend!

I got two boys and all my co-workers tell me that I am lucky. I answered “boys” because I always know that if they get out of line, I can show them who is boss…

Dude, three words sums up the entire poll.
Teenage.
Daughter.
Dating.
’nuff said.

Caitlin is 3. Caleb is under 2 months old.
Caitlin was like Caleb now: Cries a lot, wants to be held to shut up.
But Caitlin is an angel now. And her Daddee is her favourite.
I think I can only answer your question in a few years time; even then it’s only going to be a partial answer!

With two boys I have no idea what it is like to have girls.. but I am happy that I do not have a million polly pockets all over the house..LOL

It depends a lot on the child’s personality. My first (boy) is harder in the sense that he is very sensitive and clingy. My second (girl) is harder in the sense that she is a little devil and constantly manipulates and causes trouble. But I have to agree with the teenage-daughter-dating thing… I’m dreading those days.
