    Children are difficult to raise. PERIOD! LOL

    My daughter is easy to raise. She is quiet, rarely gives anyone any trouble and is a good kid. She is moody and extremely stubborn.

    My sons on the other hand are OK when they listen!!! LOL Which isn't all that often! They are CONSTANTLY into something. On the MOVE or watching TV or playing on the computer or PS2 games.

    Every family and child is different. NO 2 people are exactly the same. We all have our individual quirkiness that makes us special & unique.

    Middle children, I have found, act out more. Don't know why but they do. My son has and he is my favorite child!!! LOL

    He did a complete turn on us this past school year. Just one of those things we had to work on. Defiance, NOT LISTENING, Crying, Whining etc.

    We ended up getting into some counseling, Juvenile Services and Strengthening Families Program at our Local Child & Family Services.

    We have gained ALOT of insight into our problems but also what other families are facing when raising children or GRANDCHILDREN!!!

    Well I have a 22 month old boy and he is into everything. He is going going going until bed. I've heard that boys are harder when there younger. My sister has 1 teen and 1 pre teen they both are hand fulls. The emotions they go through in a day up and down. They both talk to consulars which I think help threw school years. But my choice I am happy with my son..... ask me again in a few years ; )

    This is from my mother in law, she has six kids, all grown.

    It was easier raising the five boys than the one girl. She would take boys over girls any day :)

    But with each gender comes a different set of issues and depends on how you handle them.

    My guess is that it all evens out in the end, I have two boys, 3 and 6 who can be very challenging at times, ( a lot of the times ). From what i see, girls are better behaved when younger, but as they get older it's harder. so lets make it a draw.

    Im a mom of two females and one million Boy. In my journey i could ought to declare that my toddler( Being a touch boy) is the least puzzling ever. sure, he's finished on and into each and every thing and im continually working around after him. yet whilst in comparison with my females he's by using some distance the least puzzling. females i think of, are very obdurate, annoying whilst they decide for some thing and could see no reason untill they have that's that they decide for. mutually as Boys could be comprimised with. that's purely my opinion.

    During the young age, boys seems to be more trouble, simply because they GET IN to more trouble. But when it comes to teenagers, girls are WAY harder, I think. They're more emotional and more difficult to deal with during puberty. So in the end, I think it balances out.
