Which is easier .. boy's or girl's??

[xkatyx]

Hi everyone,

was woundering if anyone found there son or daughter easier than the other?

my dd was easier to start with, from 0-2, but now, she's a nightmare because she pushes back every single boundary, challenges me, disobeys me, back chats me...

my son was just really delayed in comparison, meeting every milestone late. At that time that seemed 'hard'.

So in my opinion, boys are easier, even though my dd was talking and toilet trained by 2 and my son wasn't there 'til 3 and a HALF (with both talking and toilet training).

All of my three children are fantastic , easy and difficult in different ways.
I don't think it is a gender issue. I think it is a personality issue - and bythat I mean the childs personality and your personailty.

I agree, girl's are harder in my opinion, lot's more crying etc.

My son is the same apart from talking he was talking and yabbering away early but as he has got older (he is now 6) he seams to slow down and getting behind at school, i have been reassured that most boy's are like this.

pagwatch, yeah, obviously you're right. i just mean for me.

I know. I think my personailty is the reason why I find my DD being a bit of a madam quite challenging.

FWIW I love the way boys smell. But that may be weird.

I would have loved an 'easy' child! of either sex!

Very true, i was just wondering as many people have found girl's a bit more difficult than boy's and thought i would see what everyone thought on there exsperience
:-)

I had pnd with my daughter so me finding her more difficult was proberly down to me, but even now that i am ok, she defenetly is more of a crier and many friends said they found the same with there daughters.

BOYS

Can only base it on my experience but am finding dd 3 so much easier than ds 1. She is chatty and has already got quite an attitude but she is generally sweet, chilled, obediant and very loving.

DS although lovely is a ball of energy and never stops climbing. He started walking before he was 9 months and has not stopped moving since. He runs off whenever i let go of his hand whereas dd never did. He has turned into a biter which is not very nice for dd.

It may be an age thing but am finding it such a relief when he is asleep and dd and I can enjoy some quiet time.

Pagwatch what do boys smell like?

Surely you can't mean the sweaty socks etc?!!

sorry i'm new to this what is dd and ds, i have noticed a few people using them and i dont have the foggiest.

i know what you mean nulgirl when my youngest is in bed me and my eldest can enjoy some quiet time, maybe it's just the age diffrence and because when you have 1 maybe it doesn't seam so challenging?

Also i find my self comparing the 2 even though i know i shouldn't like my first walked at 9 months and my youngest didnt till later, but they are both very diffrent children my daughter will eat whatever is in front of her and is not at all shy. She is fab at sleeping always has been.

My son is a very picky eater but a very chilled child who is so easy and does not moan or complain, but he is a bit of a sod at sleeping will go to bed but sit in there awake for ages and is tired and does not want to get up for school.
