I have two sons, one daughter and two stepdaughters.
My husband says he feels girls are easier. But I feel boys are.

My reason is boys are very active and energetic but girls have attitude, are dramatic and need so much attention.

What do you think? Is your son or daughter easier to raise?

I have two girls and one boy and I say it's easier to raise boys.  My son is pretty easy going but my girls are DRAMA QUEENS.  And when they fight, OMG, I have ot walk away and leave them until the screaming stops. 

So, yeah, boys are easier lol

 I am a mom of five sons and one daughter, as of right now girls might be a little harder dealing with the high maintance and drama. But I have a feeling when the teen years begin my boys might be more of a challenge!

I can't say about girls, because I don't have any and I'm glad I didn't.  Nowadays it does not matter.  They are exposed to so many things.  I have to say boys because the girls are very agressive, they basically stalk the boys.  It is easier for me because I do not have to live with the drama that the girls do(Yay!!).  I am not looking forward for my kids to have girlfriends, although I know that should happen very soon.

Boys are definately easier to raise.  I raised 2 boys and it was such a joy, to this day my son's do take the time to spend time with me and we do have so much fun together when we go out(going to museums, events and visiting friends and family. The only advice I would give to mom's raising boys is that they have to be of STRONG CHARACTER and stick to to their guns! lolol I loved raising my boys.

I have one teen son, one preschooler son and one toddler girl. I would say boys are easier but the teen years are annoying regardless if boy or girl lol my daughters almost two and has the only attitude so I already know she's going to be a handful.

Ay, I can only imagine.

My boys are 9 & 8, the girls are 6 & 4.

When they're all together, the boys play well together, and they make sure the girls are playing fair. But we notice we're on the girls more because they will get catty over who plays with which Barbie and of course one has to act more dramatic to try to get her way, lol. The girls also have more snappy attitude that has to be kept in check, too. If not I bet they'd think that behavior is normal and acceptable..

Lol.

I remember when my daughter was a baby she was quieter than my boys and I was so happy she was a calm baby after having two energetic and active little boys.

Well, once that little girl starting walking she was unstoppable! She would do everything the boys did plus more! And still does. She's now 6, the boys are 8 &9. Some things they do she doesn't care to join in but will play football and run around with them and keeps up with them well. She holds her own and is one tough cookie. My mom laughs and say, "remember how quiet she was? I should have told you she was watching and learning from the boys." A mother's sense of humor is more enjoyable as a grandmother I'm sure, lol.

I've been starting to wonder the same, if the teen years will begin to be a challenge with the boys.

My oldest is 9 and I think he's starting to test how much of a "man" he is. I've had to remind him a couple times "you're 9 NOT 19"! And he's always been a little ladies man, loving attention from women since he was little, lol. People would say he's gonna be trouble when he gets older. I thought I had a long time to go before that, But lately I hear him mention girls names from the school bus and his class. Umm, What ever happened to "eww girls have cooties!" ?! Lol
