    So a lot of my mom's friends are getting pregnant and a thought came to me, but who's harder to raise? Boys or girls? Just generally speaking, without considering the innate personalities of each children. In my opinion, boys are much harder raise.

    (For the words following this, they're experiences gained from babysitting kids, so my opinions are biased if you haven't realized.) As for discipline, boys tend to do whatever they want and won't listen as much as girls. And I've met girls, who can be rowdy and adamant about what they want, but boys seem to take the cake when it comes to tantrums.

    As for physical safety, boys are so much more energetic than girls and when playing, they can be very rough. Often injuring themselves a lot as well... do you know how many bandaids I had to use per week and take out from the medicine cabinet? I would have my eyes away from them for one second, and next thing you know, they're grabbing the cat by its tail... And you can pretty much figured out what happens right after that. And, well, I don't want to ramble too much, but definitely, I think raising a girl would be slightly easier than a boy in some aspects.

    What do you think?

    My mom would probably tell you that raising boys is far easier. My guess is it varies depending upon cultures, personalities, etc.

    Gender doesn't matter all babies try to kill themselves as soon as possible. Watch them LIKE A HAWK!

    Curiosity+Ignorance=Danger.

    Since they know nothing they try EVERYTHING. Usually in the form of stuffing into the mouth.

    As for later stages. It depends on each child.

    Girls for one as they are in term need more attention. But stress will probably pile up with boys as they are destructive and less attentive. Or pretty much hyper hahaha. Though it really depends if the child is hyper or not. Quiet child tends to be less a burden when compared to active ones.

    Its harder to raise boys during toddler years. But once the kids hit puberty, girls literally turn their parents hair white.

    The world would be less chaotic if they both decided to be a hikikomori.
    On a bit of a more serious note, boss would be annoying when they are brats. The girls would be a bit more difficult in adolescents when blood spills? Idk.

    I've met some boys who don't listen to their parents but when they see me, they become meek. So, I feel like boys are easier for some reason. But I've also met some that just don't know how to stop so I just let them be.

    I think they are the same up to a certain age. Both girls and boys are cute until they become 7 years old, which is the age when they get annoying. A parent has to tolerate them until the age of 13 when they start to exhibit the usual symptoms of the Teenage syndrome. At that age, there isn't much you can do, except for shooting them if required.

    Definitely, when it comes to exposure to social media and perception of beauty and etc. Self-esteem issues are very predominant amongst young women. Personally speaking, I had to grow up thinking that women with white skin are epitome of beauties and for someone with a tanned skin, that can be very detrimental to my self-esteem.

    Men from a young age, in general, are also taught to withhold their emotions so they can be destructive when dealing with emotional situations as they won't reach out to outside help as much as girls.

    It depends on the parents. If the parents are incompetent at parenting, their children would behave badly. Then these children would grow up to become incompetent parents and the cycle continues.
