Sons or Daughters?

I have 4 sons and a daughter. My daughter is the middle child with 2 brothers older and 2 brothers younger. While I love all of my children equally, I found the 4 boys to be easier when it came to raising them. They didn't feel the constant need to be under my feet, whining at me the way my daughter did. She and I do feel a special bond, considering she is my only daughter, but she was more difficult to raise.
Meanwhile, this only daughter of mine has given me 3 grandchildren. She is the only one so far to have any children. She has 2 little girls and a boy. Funny, thinking about it now, her little boy has an older sister and a younger sister, meaning he is the middle child. To me, when babysitting, he is the harder child to manage. Always on the go, always into things, whereas his sisters will sit with me and we'll talk our "girl" talk and what not.
Funny how kids are so different!

we have two daughters and the oldest one and i have clashed for a number of years because she is stubborn and thinks her way is the best way. now that she is going to be out on her own, i think she will change quite a bit. (she is going to college in the fall).
however, our youngest daughter is very much like me and we get a long quite well as she and i have a lot of the same interests.
you are right. its funny how different kids from the same family can be.
