I think it's easier to raise girls. Because they are behave and mild manner. Unlike boys who are a little bit hyper.

I also think that it differs from people to people. I think it mostly depends of the personality of the boys and girls rather than the gender.

Nice question indeed!I think to raise girls is more easier than raising boys bcoz girls are much sensitive,attached to the parents and may be love parents more than a boy does.A girl will always try to do what her parent says,she is much respectable and her obidience is far too better than the boys,only thing is that you should be close to her so that she shares all the good and bad aspects of hwer life. She can ask any troubling question the moment itself,if such a girl is there,its no problem for the parent to worry and raise her to a good human.

I think there is no difference for raising a boy or a girl. I think both of them are the same. I think some people might have different opinion in this matter.

Hi friend, I think it always easy to raise a girl than boy as girls are very less demanding and can under stand family needs easily, So she can compromise and think for betterment of family instead of thinking about herself. But I feel it is not so easy to raise a girl, with full of confidence and strong character. She needs lot of backup from family. At the same time boy became more arrogant and hard to understand as they grow up because of their tough nature.

I think that it is the child and how you raise him or her regardless of gender. If you let your boys be wild, then they will be. If you make your girls behave, then they tend to do that more consistently. Of course, the reverse is true as well. Personality is also a factor, because some children are generally more hyper, curious, quiet, daring, adventurous, obedient or laid-back, etc. than others, so the personality of the child will obviously influence his or her behavior.

The level of nurturing kids are really a tough job. In my opinion, raising a child either girls or boys are the same thing. The manner of growing up is somewhat different, but the mental state is still the same. Enjoy taking good care of them, it is normal that a child broke things for curiosity sake.

hi academic, i am father to a boy and a girl and really consider myself very very fortunate for this wonderful experience and thank Almighty God for such a blessing. my daughter is 5yrs old and my son is just 11 months old so its not a lot of experience ;) but i would really love to share what i feel and have experienced so far. my daughter is my darling. she is so adorable, calm and though naughty not a bit destructive. she takes so good care of everything around her especially her toys and so far have not seen her writing on walls and on the sofa or furniture. but yes..she's a mamas girl and ever since she was born she wouldnt leave her mom for a minute. she used to start screaming and crying whenever her mom wasnt around and wouldnt listen to anyone. so it was a real hard time for my wifey. my son is my prince. and just as i have named him...he behaves like a demanding prince!!! he is just 11months but ever since he started walking a couple of months ago...he has started turning the world topsyturvy. not a single toy is safe and he just loves throwing things around let it be my cell phone or the TV remote--nothing is spared. once he wants something..he wont stop demanding until he gets it..thats when we have to try and divert his mind elsewhere. but tell u something..he is chooo chweet and everything he does is forgiven just with his cute lil smile displaying his two teeth!! however tired i get..once i am back home with kids...i feel completely relaxed and just love to spend time with them..the feeling is amazing. raising a girl may be more difficult coz, as a father i feel i have to be her protective guardian till she gets married off. a boy gets tougher with the exposure he gets in his life as he grows, as he plays and becomes street smart. that doesnt mean that raising boys is any easier...we need to keep a watchful eye to make sure our kids dont take up any wrong path (which boys r more likely to get into) and we must always guide them as to what is right and wrong. when we talk about raising our kids, i feel for us parents this is process goes on till we are alive..coz no matter how big our children grow, for us they will always remain kids and they do need our guidance in everything even if they dont ask for it or even if they dont appreciate it.
