Both are different, I am sure but if you have both, who was easier to raise? I have 3 girls and want a boy but boys scare the mess out of me. Haha

My son was actually more mellow. My girls are the ones jumping on and off of things and more wild. I'm scared they are going to break every bone in their body. :/ I have seen boys throw temper tantrums and treat their parents like crap and I have seen girls be as sweet as pie and then I have seen it be the opposite. i think it just all depends on the kid and probably a lot on how they raised :)

I had both, I have raised 3 girls and 1 boy, and now raising another girl. Overall, the boy was much easier.

I think at different stages both can be easier or harder.  I think boys often can be harder when they are young because they are often so active and often have their own ideas about what they are going to do and listening isn't an option, lol.  I definitely think that girls are harder often as teenagers though because there are so many tears and so much drama.

 I have one of each.  I have more in common with my daughter, but she is so moody and emotional.  My son is very even keeled and sweet.  At different times they were each easier.  My daughter was an easy baby and toddler, my son was awful at that stage.  But now he's the easier one.

I think it depends on the child.

They both have their challenges.

I have 2 girls. The first is full of drama and wild. The second is only 10 months old but she already has attitude. Some people say boys are so much easier because there isn't all the drama. I'd like to see if that is really true. Although boys tend to be more hyper than girls so I would be really in trouble with a boy.

My boy is much easier than my girls have been.
