With DS I've always thought pretty heavily that I'm in charge of raising a good MAN in a culture where it's obvious there are few! That's always seemed alot harder to me than raising a girl to be a fulfilled and great woman. Now that we have P, even though she's still only an infant and has been more on the high needs side, I still feel that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-easier#post-480345 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:25:58 +0000 Anagram 480345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it totally depends on the kid, but this is just from my observations of my 8 nieces and nephews, not from my own kid (since I just have one on the way!).</p> <p>My second sister's kids (girl first, then boy), were very different. Her first, the girl, was a very easy baby and is still an easy kid in 6th grade--good grades, never a behavior problem, big reader. Her second, the boy, was an extremely fussy baby who had terrible sleeping problems till he was 3. Now, he's 6 and CRAZY ENERGETIC, bouncing off the walls. I wouldn't call him a behavior problem, but he wears me out when I babysit.</p> <p>My husband's niece and nephew are exactly the opposite. The boy was the easy baby at now at 5 is so content just sitting and playing quietly. The girl was a fussy baby and is super energetic at 3 years old. She was jumping off the couch on to the floor--and she's three! He was looking at math flash cards quietly by himself at the same time. So different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-easier#post-480337 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:19:06 +0000 Sammyfab 480337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: this is whatever heard too!

Which one is easier, the boy or girl? I never know how to answer, because I don't know how much of taking care of them is their personality and how much is their gender. So I always say, they are different.... </p> <p>How do you respond? </p>
