Are boys or girls easier to raise?

As babies my girls were easy as pie. My oldest daughter and I are really good friends now that she is 18 and on her own and I know a so much more than I did when she was 15 or 16 (according to her, by the way). My 8 yr old daughter was easy but is going through hormonal changes that are messing things up LOL I can only hope that when my 3 yr old son makes it to those ages he is much easier than he has been up to this point. LOL I was not prepared for a child with as much energy as he has had. He wears me out just watching him somedays.

My daughter was difficult from the day she was born, until she hit about 20, lol. She was always on the go, and into something. My son was easy, until he hit sixteen...he is almost 19 now, and he's a mess. No goals, no life outside his computer, and he just really doesn't care. Despite everything I have done, I can't get through to him. I hope he gets it together, but right now I have my doubts. So, all in all, I think it evens out, girls just mature faster usually.

I have two boys and now a little girl. my older son is a dream. my younger son had his moments but he is a great kid. i know have my little girl and she is just a sweet doll how is a mini me. i think children are children and they get into things at different stages. who is easier boys or girls, i don't know. i do know that all kids are a pain in the butt at one time or another!!!

Boys tend to cause physical/material damage where girls cause emotional damage. You tell me which is worse. Personally I can handle boys roughhousing far easier then my daughters drama.

During the early stages of life, both boys and girls are relatively easy to deal with. Coping with their growing up becomes more and more intricate as they add on years to their ages. Problems shall be more and more pronounced as they get to be 10 onwards. The influence of friends at school and the neighbors begin showing. Continuous guidance will have to be the recourse in order to keep them at the right path to life. It gets to be more difficult during the teen years when they are in high school and early college years. If a parent has both boys and girls in the family, the parents shall realize that boys are so very difficult to raise than girls once they reach this stage in life - the teen years.

Oh my goodess boys are easier definately, girls are so indepentant, my little girl molly is 9 years old ( i swear she's acting like 19 ) and i have nightmares with her and her attitude my little boy is 4, he has his moments but is generally so loveing and cuddly, and theres not 10 minutes that doesn't go by when he does'nt say that he loves you. When i was pregnant with him i never wanted a boy wanted another girl. But saying that they have their own personalites and are both adorable in their own ways

I have two boys also and one girl. My boys are really rowdy where my girl is very quiet. My boys have caused me some trouble so far but i think in the long run my girl will cause me the most grief but i doubt it will be her fault it will wind up being some boy haha lol. Anyhow at the moment my girl has been the easiest.

I would think that there are a lot of variables to the answer - but for me I found my son easier to raise than the girls. He is easier going, I guess that is why.

I have never had the chance to raise a gril, so I an't say wiether or not they would be harder to raise then boys. I will say that in my opinion it would be hard for a single father to raise a girl then it would a boy since there are just so many things more that a gril goes through growing up that I would probably have a harder time helping her with then I did with my sons.
