Do you think we should be more strict as parents on our sons than our daughters?

Or vice versa? I find is come more natural to be more strict on my son than my daughter since boys seem to get into more trouble than girls. (i could be wrong about that but i guess its a matter of opinion and your own experience)As a mother of now 2 girls and my boy I find I want to protect my girls more from the world and let my son experience life as such. Im not saying let him jump off a cliff(i mean he's only 2!! lol) or anything but I'm worried that if I protect him "too much" he won't be able to handle some of the challenges life has to offer as a man. Whats your opinion on the subject? Thanks for the input!

I think it is up to each child and how responsible they are with the boundaries you set as a parent.

I think you should be strict equally.Later on with the kids it may case problems between you and the kids.

it depends on child to child. you should be strict based on the behavior of your child.
