Why do people think it's easier to have 4 of one sex?

When people ask how many kids and get over the initial shock of 4?!?!, we inevitably get the question of "boys or girls?"

I have 2 of each (clever aren't I ! ). However, I have 2 friends who have 4 boys each and 1 friend who has 3 boys and 1 girl.

We have noticed that the ones who have all boys get the most sympathy, worried looks and "madness" comments.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Surely 4 kids is 4 kids, why would mixed sexes appear to be easier to manage?

Do they all still live at home?

The eldest is currently living away but hasn't really 'moved out' as such. The others are all at home which is crazy sometimes - I'd like a break from them all but money is an issue.
