Let's settle this

I know, everyone has heard about this and is probably sick of me bringing it up. But I am so terrified of raising a boy! Why are they so....destructive? And wild? Very often when I say this, I am surprised to hear people tell me that I am very wrong and that boys are way easier to raise than girls. Are people saying that just to be nice and comfort me in my time of sheer terror? Or do they really think that? Well, I want to hear what you really think. So, it's poll time, again.

Hey! I heard alot of this because I was pretty dang sure I was going to have a boy because of the differences in the pregnancy. But any ways. I heard some people say Boys are easier some say they are harder. It just depends the little spirit they got send to us with. Girls are emotionaly though! I heard boys are easier to raise when there older!!! ha ha! good luck!!

I don't think one is easier than the other per say... they are quite different, but I haven't found that one was harder. Hopefully that gives some comfort?

I think once they are older it will change, one will be drama queening it every day and the other breaking bones and stuff... yeah, but at 3 and 1, so far no preferences.

I don't have any girls, but I think boys are easier. Yes, they are destructive and wild, but you don't have near the drama that girls do. Just my opinion - You are going to do great with a boy.

My vote is for sure boy's are easier. I only say that because all I have are boys. They are definately wild, but so much FUN! As long as you have rocks and dirt near by it will be a piece of cake. Good Luck!

Everybody will tell you something different based on their own experiences. I, for example, just voted that girls are easier and it shows the results are 50-50. I guess it depends on if you want high emotions or high physicality. But I grew up in a family of 6 fairly non-drama-queenish girls and one picked-on-and-misunderstood (and therefore rebellious) brother, so that's where I'm coming from.
That being said, I am SO glad you are settling this age-old question once and for all! I look forward to seeing the results of your poll, because then I will know for sure!!

Oh girl! Anthony is WAY easier than Kathryn! Katie is so emotional.

I agree with the first comment! I think it completely depends on the spirit! My nephews are a handful but my boys are so easy...even though there is some destruction!

I think boys are easier---lots of energy, but so so easy as long as you keep them busy and outside in the dirt! I always hear girls are a lot more emotional and whiny---and I've already noticed that with Elizabeth :)

Boys, way easier!! Even as wild and crazy as Peyton, he is easier. We are hoping for another one, one girl is enough!!
