I know two families, one with 3 daughters (ages 10, 7, and 2) and a boy on the way, and another family with four boys (ages 6, 4, 3, and 15 months). When I've talked to them about the stress of being parents the family of girls is always WAY less stressed and more calm, and the family of boys is constantly screaming and freaking out and chaotic. The mother of the girls said she thinks girls are incredibly easier when they're younger, but she has a feeling that as they get older they'll be much harder than boys especially in their teens. The mother of boys says she hears it doesn't get much easier and she's going nuts.
Is it true that girls are easier? Or more importantly is it true girls are easier when they're younger and harder when they're older.
And all in all, would you rather raise a big family of boys or of girls?
