I have a two year old girl. I just had a baby boy a few weeks ago. We did not find out the gender and we are thrilled.
I've been on the advice boards quite a bit, as one does with a newborn and a challenging toddler.
I'm noticing quite a few threads suggesting boys are high energy destructive little brutes who take ages to learn to talk and difficult to tame. That is to say, far fewer such threads relating to girls.
Is there something I should know? Ought I be reading that raising boys book?
If I find a thread I will link, but they go like this; 'why is my toddler destructive and does he have ADHD?', and tons of replies like this; 'normal. All my boys are like this. My dd would sit doing crafts for hours, you need to take them for 3 mile walks x2 a day'
Just wondering
