Poll question: For parents...

Having helped raise six kids of my own, and helping raise kids in the neighborhood that were left to their own devices, I ask this:

Which are or were harder to raise???

1. Dunno, mine were both boys

and for all the horror stories told about boys they were quite nice and not hard at all.

2. I have one of each

My son is 18, my daughter 2 weeks shy of 17.

My son has never had a bad hair day (in his opinion, believe me...he's had bad hair years), my daughter has 4 out of 7 bad hair days a week.

My son always feels his clothes look great (his mirror is lying to him), my daughter looks fat, ugly, short, too white, too tan, too many pimples, bad eyebrow job, hates her hair....well you get the idea. She's must have a bad mirror, I think she's beautiful.

Girls are harder IMHO.

Cheers

3. 3 sons, 1 daughter

DAUGHTERS

Although the saying about a daughter's a daughter the rest of your life is true too.

5. I have one of each but they are just reaching teenage years.

So I don't feel qualified to answer. So far they've been pretty equal.

6. 13-16 = tourettes

Take nothing she has to say seriously, absolutely nothing. Well, tell her you take every word she has to say most seriously - but then don't. My only advise in raising teen-age girls.

Oh, and buckets of money doesn't hurt either.

7. Three sons, one daughter. Some were easier to raise than

others, but my daughter was definitely the hardest.
