There have always been baby boys around me, and not very many girls- so I'm used to boys. I'm not a parent, but I feel like a boy might be easier. Though, I'd love either/any that I may have.

Being male, I say girls are easier (during the infant/toddler stage). Simply because they seem to attach to males where as boys are attached to their mothers. As they get older, those roles often change.

Having 2 boys and 1 girl and the same as grandchildren I have to say it is almost the same. They both present their own group of challenges during the teenage years. Boys are definitely easier as preteens and girls definitely grow out of the "stupid" stage quicker. I will say you need to be their parent not their friend first and foremost and it will make life much easier on both parent and child, you can be the best of friends once they have grown.

it totally depends. i dont have any kids but i've worked in a nursery - trust me, the girls are every bit as bad as the boys, they are just usually more subtle with it. i dont think its a matter of one sex being "easier" to look after, there are so many other factors involved. thier upbringing, thier personality, thier environment etc.

I think girls are much easier to supervise than boys. They seem to be more settled around the house and they will sit down and keep focussed on tasks such as homework.

I have 4 girls and my brother has 3 boys. He's 8 years older than I am so I used to babysit them all the time before I married and had my own kids. I always left their house a nervous wreck because it was like the cage matche of WWF wrestling. All 3 had karate lessons too so they were very physical and liked to sparr with each other. When they weren't active they would sit and play video games in a weird trance. My girls are athletic, but also very girly. They prefer reading arts and crafts, pretend games, etc. I'm more comfortable doing girly things because well, I'm a girl!

For me, girls are much easier to deal with. I've got two of them and I've only added a few gray hairs since they were born. My brother-in-law has a 3 year old boy, and whenever they come over to the house, I look at my living room and wonder what will be broken by the time they leave.

I don't have much experience in this area but I have a boy, 4 and a girl, 20 months. So far there is no difference between the two. I thought my daughter would stand quietly by us when we were out and about and not run around like a lunatic like my son did at that age but no such luck. She is just like him. :) I think it depends more on the personality than the gender.

I think boys are easier to raise and look after. Sure they are wild and get into alot of mischief while girls are more quiet and tend not to be so wild and obnoxious. When they get old enough though you don't have to pull your hair out worrying that your son is gonna come home pregnant at 13

Boys every time, but that may be because I only understand boys.
