Sons vs. daughters

[terry78]

If you have both, or one or the other, is there a particular gender you feel is "easier" to raise as opposed to the other, or if you don't have kids, regardless of never being able to choose, would you rather have a son or a daughter? We were discussing it at work today and two dudes were like, I ain't never having a daughter, because I know she'll fall victim to the same thing I do to females. At least they're honest.

 

[WeaponZ2]

As long as its mine. I really don't care.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

i would think a son is easier to raise b/c of the absence of the menstrual cycle.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

^Yes..i heard that also.I heard its easier to raise boys because you dont have to worry about what they do.With girls you have to be on their case.

 

[tzarinna]

If I were to have kids I'd want one of each. But I think I'd have more of a connection with my son unless my daughter is a bit tomboyish.

as a male i feel it's easier to raise a daughter...

as a female it's probably easier to raise a son.

such is life.

I think it's easier to raise the opposite gender is that you don't try to make them mini clones of yourself and also you know what the opposite gender may have instore for them based on your own experiences so you can look out for them respectively according to those trials and tribulations.

of course this is all considering a stable socio economic background being a constant.

I have a daughter and my best friend has two sons.
One day we were chatting while fishing about raising our kids.

We started talking about whether girls or boys was harder to raise and he said something to me ill never forget.

He said "I only need to worry about two little peckers, you on the other hand have to worry about millions."

nuff said.

Either or.

...but then my idea of parenting is skipping town and changing my phone number, so I can't really comment

If I were to have kids, I would rather have a boy. I don't think I could cope with the constant worry of boyfriends, teenage pregnancy and rape that you get with girls.

Huh? How does that make any sense?

Sure ya do Boyfriend, if he's gay, pregnancy if he gets taken to court over it and child support, rape/jail if he did it, and rape if he goes to jail...Looks like actually raising boys and girls is on an even playing field.

Besides some can argue that its more expensive raising girls, but with boys more likely to go to jail figuring out the cost of defense lawyers and bail, well I'm no mathematician but that sounds expensive to me.

I don't want to have kids at all. But if I had to choose definitely a boy. I don't want to pay any giant telephone bills, hear about constant boyfriend trouble, how every other girl is a tramp, etc. Or have her little group of friends at my place.

I have a little sister, I think I've suffered enough in this lifetime. But if I should ever get a daughter, I'll definitely raise her as a boy.

 

[Goddessreicho]

Oh and girls tend to pick out much better nursing homes, so think of raising a girl as a better long term investment.

 

[Nathan]

If I'm lucky I won't even live that long.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

As long as its mine. I really don't care.

Yeah, you're right. This is why I don't want kids. I really don't think it's fair bringing them into the world of today. I worry enough about myself, family and friends. I really couldn't bear it if something happened to one of my kids, and you can't exactly lock them up, can you?

 

[X-Chick]

My mom says girls are, at least most of the time. Boys are worse when they're younger because they're more rough and tend to get into stuff that they shouldn't and are more prone to stupid injuries. But girls are harder as teenagers because of hormones and the risk of pregnancy or rape and all that stuff. Then again, with boys you have to worry about promiscuousness, drugs, car accidents, fighting, and stuff like that. And then when they're grown, girls tend to stick closer to their parents while guys become more preoccupied with their wives and stuff.

Let me put it this way

I'd rather have a he than a she cause if I had a she I would have to protect she from all the he's


plus I can hit hes

 

[Iceman]

I'd be more worried about raising a daughter for some reason (not that I wouldn't want one).

[unstoppable]

the stopster?


how many nicknames do I have

 

[PyroChamber]

My mom told me that of all her kids, 2 girls and myself, I was the easiest to raise.

But if I ever have a son and a daughter, as long as I can keep him from becoming a disrespectable prick and her from becoming a stripper/pornstar I think I'll be alright.

 

[Hades]

Probably a daughter

I get along better with females then males alot of the time.

plus I know more about make up and hair, etc then I do sports....

 

[_BB_]

I think I'd prefer to have a boy, girls are too much hassle. Buy a boy a video game and he'll be entertained for hours.

 

[Lord Valumart]

i want a son so i can go see films with him like Die Hard and Transformers...but i want a daughter so i can beat up her boyfreinds...

it's a lose lose situation cause knowing my luck he'll be into crap films like Scary Movie and she'll be a lesbian
