Bringing up children itself is a challenging task in life .But some say girl’s maintenance leave a hole in the parents’ pocket, but as it turns out; it’s the boys who’re high maintenance.

If we actually calculate (Usually we don’t calculate) boys cost thousands of money more to bring up than girls.

What do you say?

blinkBabies from the time they were born
already costly. I don't think theres a
comparison between the two. The two are
both costly. But others say that boys things
and cloths are more expensive than girls.
Maybe there's truth in my last sentence.

My parents (they have 4 boys and 6 girls) said that how much they spent raising a child depended less on their gender and more on their personality. For instance, one of my brothers was very hard on clothes and they were constantly buying him some. My other brother, however, would wear the same clothes until he outgrew them and they would still be in good condition, so the former brother cost a lot more than the latter.
Also, insurance for boys (in the US) tends to be a lot more expensive than insurance for teenage girls. However, my sister got many traffic tickets (she had to pay them) and so having her on the insurance cost more than any of my brothers. It was much less about whether they were male or female, and more about their personality in the end.

Hi season,

In my observation with husband, father,friends and relatives, ..Girls are more high maintenance compared to boys...Just give them beer and food, they will be fine but girls needs more than that, beauty products, new accessories,new clothes,salon and everything we can think of..LOL!

But, I know when we are talking about vices, it is more costly but I believed that women will still outnumbered those men who are highly maintenance!
