It's been a common theme in discussion at times, if boys or girls are easier?
I'd surmise that each relationship is unique though.
However, this article made me laugh http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1169494/Little-girls-sugar-spice-things-nice-NOT-LIKELY.html.

sorry Zebra, I gave up reading :suspect:

so her daughter turned out as badly behaved as her sons? where's the surprise?

my son was definetely the easier baby, without a doubt. However, toddlerwise I'm the wrong person to ask!

Surely you'd slap both boys and girls just as hard ?
( only joking ).

Rachel can have some right strops when she wants, and you can tell they're strops because no tears !

No experience of boys, but I would expect both to be just the same, surely ( until the hormones take over... ).

Mat.

Well I have both boys and girls and they both have their ups and downs and moments to make you want to sit in a corner rocking. In general though I think they are pretty much the same but different, non harder or easier then the other. I think this little girl just needs a very clear NO.

i found my son much easier than i am finding my daughter, she is much more strong willed than he was

It's swings and roundabouts. Girls wreck towels with mascara and leave skimpy knickers on radiators. Boys have smelly feet.

defo boys easier although my little lad is now copying alot of wot big sis does There could be trouble ahead lol!

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Kid needs a slap and some rules.

Of course it is just down to each child's personality and how you respond surely.......not due to the sex of the child!

I'm not so sure. Sometimes you can have an affinity to one or the other.
I better understand girls and I feel I'm possibly a better parent to my daughters than I might be to a son, though not having a son, I can't be sure.

I think you underestimate yourself. If you'd had twin boys you would have soon gained that affinity, because they would be your children, gender inconsequential.
Had I not had 2 boys I might have agreed with your concerns, but having had them, with no choice in the matter, LOL, I don't feel it would be possible for me to have a closer relationship with another child just because it was a girl.

I've been told girls are easier when younger, boys when older...we'll see :P
