well.....I have 3 girls and 2 boys, in that order.
IMO, there is a huge difference between boys and girls..........AND......there is a HUGE difference between girls and girls, and boys and boys!!!
mine are all different, and each of them have the ability to drive me nuts, but I would be lying if I didn;t (at times) prefer one sex over the other. For me, I have found girls easier SO FAR....of course, my girls are now entering their teens, and hormones are raising their ugly heads, so they are getting increasingly harder to handle.
girls were certainly easier as babies, altho my boys weren't hard, they were just different. I had had my girls first too, so maybe that was part of the reason.......I was used to the girls, so boys were more of a shock.
boys are far more active, and need far more physical time....and are also very loud, but then the girls are loud too.
girls whinge more!!!!
girls are nasty to each other........boys argue, thump, maybe kick, and then get on with whatever they were playing again (on the whole).......girls fall out, say nasty words, cry, pinch and scratch, and then harp back to whatever the last arguement was.....and the one before that and the one before that!!!......they bear grudges.
I would still tho, opt for another girl than more boys, and that doesn't in any way mean I don;t love my boys....I do.....I would die for them.....but for me, so far, my girls have been an easier ride.
I did declare when I was pregnant with DS2, that I would love another girl again please, as I had wanted the 'boy thing', had found the 'boy thing ' hard, would now like to bury the 'boy thing', and get girlie again..........got a boy, and feel in love again and I now have the two, they each have each other (so needed), and I wouldn;t change it!
I would never ever choose tho.........babies are a gift and you get whatever you are destined for. be it a SN child, NT child, girl, boy........all are wonderful, all a miracle, all a gift, and all much loved.
