Parenting.com had an interesting article on which gender is harder to raise, boys or girls. Highlights included:
- Boys may not listen as well as girls because their hearing isn’t as good from birth
- Girls are rigged to be people-oriented, while boys are more action-oriented
- Girls tend to grow up less confident and more insecure than boys
- Boys are harder to raise early on, but girls become more difficult as preteens
I’m thinking that it’s already hard with my 4-year-old daughter, but if it’s supposed to get worse with the onset of preteens, this should make for a very interesting and difficult future. I’m sure it’s all a part of the master plan of kicking them out the door at eighteen without looking back
