Are girls are harder to raise than boys?

I agree! In our family, I'm the only son and all the other siblings are girls. Their so SENSITIVE and sure lot of NEEDS. Makeup, cellphones, iPod, beauty essentials and other more! Not like us boys, our needs are the basic needs. We can live without those vanity sets. But to think girls so good in studying. And that's what I adore to them.

Girls really are harder to raise than boys because they need more attention and proper care more than what the boys need.Boys are naturally playfull and aren't too much choosy when it comes to things,unlike girls.

Well I am not married yet, and doesn't have children yet, so I am not speaking in the light of as to how a parent would actually speak. As for me, the possibility of having trouble raising a girl would be because having a girl would make you want to protect her more, you would probably be more worried of your daughter in terms of protecting her from the outside world. As for boys, it is somehow okay for them to wrestle, and get bruises once in a while, they are expected to do such so the burden seems lighter. But in fact kids are kids and they act like kids. It is probably just that you want your daughter to behave better than the boys for the plain reason that she's a girl, and she is kinda expected to be more fine and not so hyperactive and physical as the boys.

my kids are differnt 3 girls easy as pie my son lordy lordy he was in everything and demanding still is.

I have seen my nieces BOYS are more active than the girls. Boys love to climb anything that is high, girls love to touch/get anything she likes. Boys are adventurous with new things, girls are too curious that they get themselves hurt. Boys doesnt like reading much, girls LOVE to hear short stories. In terms of raising them, my cousins are having a hard time with her BOYS because they are so Energetic. However my Brother is having a hard time answering his daughter's curiousity demanding for explanations. I guess both have its ups and downs. For me i would like to have a girl because i love to dress them up... BOYs i love too... i want to have 2 boys and 2 girls.

I think boys and girls are the same nowadays. My eldest is a girl and my youngest is a boy. Though they have 3 years gap between them, they still act the same. They would fight against one toy even if there are a lot more to play with. They're shouting every time. They're really driving me crazy. I can't just let them play all alone because I'm too worried that they'll hurt each other. I just hope I'll pass this stage still be as composed as possible. But there were times also that they truly adore each other and kiss each other. When one is not around the other one would look for her or him. Haayyy. Please help me Lord in this road I'm now traveling.

Yes they are believe me and it gets worse lol They go through the Madam stage, the spoilt Stage the Tantrum Stage, the Demanding Stage and then the Teenage a stage lol Ok when she is 18 it should all start calming down a bit.

I have one boy and one girl. My son was very laid back, my daughter is busy, busy. She is more demanding in everything she does. I know my mom said the same about me and my brother.

No in this house it seems to be the boy that is soooo demanding, the girls were great but my little man who is only 15 months is a terror, he pulls everything out of the cupboards at the first available opportunity, He kicks the back door and screams until you let him out, OK he can't talk yet but he is so much harder and slower at a lot of things than the girls were.

I think its guys...guys are too naughty from childhood itself..they try to explore in to everywhere which is there in their genetic make up...they make too much of noice and when they grow up they develop anger fast...but in case of gals,they usually turns to be calm and problemless as they grow up even if they were naughty when they were kids...guys gets too much more freedom than gals and they like to spent it in their own way..there,if someone even if parents interfere make them really upset.They argue with parents and even talk to them back...their daily expenses and total expenses is too high compared to gals(bikes,movies,money spenting for gal and guy friends etc...) for which parents should tak care of...if you ask about any of these to guys,they get angry so fast..but I do agree that there are gals who also are very difficult to grow up...

I thing everything is fair in this world. If in early stage,girl is harder to raise than boy,but when they were grew up,boy may cause more trouble than girl. Do you think so? So,don't worry,your little girl will be docile growing with age.

Boys are easier to raise than girls.Girl cost more money.They are hormonal and cry.They are drama queens.They have more predators out there where guys can take care of them selves. They get over things faster.

I totally agree on girls being harder to raise. My daughter is such a little drama queen, with her it is all emotions with my son he is calm and pretty much just one emotion at a time going. With her it is like 2-3 emotions all going at once. But I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world!

Yes! they are i have a 17,14 and 3 year old all girls! the older they get the worse they get , trust me lol !

I totally agree with you that boys are far more easier to raise than girls. I had my girl first and by the time my son was born (some 18 months later) I thought something was wrong with him so at 6 months I took him to the doctor to be tested, just knowing that there was something horrible wrong with him since he was not demanding at all, went to sleep right after a nap and did nothing that his sister did at that age. The doctor laughed at me when I brought him in and only said to me "you just got a good baby that is all", to this day (my daughter is 27 years old now) her whole life has been like this, she is still very demanding, needs lots of attention is the drama queen of our household. Even though I believe it takes different methods for different children I believe little girls do require the extra attention they are demanding but just never vary on your discipline for her also, she needs this from you as much as your boys do. Good Luck.

i feel the same as you say , as they are more demanding and they are more sensitive and demand more attention than boys who learn from things around them , but in the case of girls they have to be spoon fed ;)

Hehe, I've not married yet. but i see your topic is interesting. My sister has a son and a girl, and i used to look after them when they are little kids. i think the common is that boys are much more piquant, and you have to watch on them every time. on the contrary, girls are much more coy, they don't try those dangerous games like boys. at least that's the case in my sisters. to say why girls are harder to raise than boys, i think that's because people often think that boys should be brave, any dangerous games will not frighten them away. while, girls are timid, easy to be hurt. they may cry for falling down, but boys do not. so you have to be more careful with the girl.i think that's the point.

I have two kids, a boy and a girl. I had a tough time with my son. He kept shouting for every single thing he wanted and his demands were never ending. My girl , she is much gentle than him.Girls are much softer and they behave well.

I am raising 2 boys and a girl. I would have to disagree with boys being easier. I have found that my daughter is less distructive tehn my boys,not as violent, and acts more mature.

haha i am no son or girl,but i wish i will have a girl.
