Which are easier to raise: Girls or Boys?

My opinion: After raising 3 girls and two boys I have to say that my boys were easier to raise. My girls (I love them TONZ) were slight "drama queens" (haha). But my boys were normally calm and easier to deal with. I found that even at toddlers boys are easier to potty train and easier to entertain.
As they got older I will have to say that the tables began to change. My girls got in less trouble at school and where less roudy.
What is your opinion?

I had 4 boys, then got my girl. My boys are a cake walk compared to EVERYTHING about my girl. The pregnancy was harder, the delivery almost killed both of us, and she is the most demanding little thing I've ever seen in my life! She's constantly into everything, she isn't potty training fast enough for me, she's a little monster! She'll be 3 in 9 days, boo hoo, getting so big so fast! Girls are definitely more challenging than boys when they are little!

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I also feel boys are much easier than girls. You mentioned potty training and a memory came to mind. When I first started potty training my son I just knew it was going to be hard (keep in mind I had already had two girls and this was my first boy) but ....a pair of Barney underwear and a few months...we were done! (hehe) He would kill me if he saw this (he is now almost 17). But he would not get his Barney dirty so I was in luck!

That's hilarious because my youngest boy was the same way, except with Blues Clues. I searched high and low trying to find blues clues underwear. After weeks of searching, I finally found some at Dollar General of all places and I bought every package they had! He was potty trained in no time. This however is NOT working with my daughter! She's into Princesses and has all their undies and still pees all over in them, lol. Guess I'll have to figure something else out!

Yes, my daughters were much harder to train. I am thinking of another flash back....
My daughter at age 4....I could not get it through her thick head to go to the bathroom when she felt like she needed to go. She always waited until she was just about to the point of peeing on herself and then she would grab herself and run screaming..."I have to PEEEEE!" Everyone knew that if we heard her screaming frantically, to get out of the way! (hehe)
