Most parents would attest that raising a child is a difficult, though rewarding, job. But is raising one gender more difficult than another? According to recent studies , it seems so:
• Discipline: Who's harder to raise? Boys
• Physical Safety: Who's harder to raise? Boys
• Communication: Who's harder to raise? Boys in the early years; girls around age 8 and older.
• Self-Esteem: Who's harder to raise? Girls
• School: Who's harder to raise? Boys
The final verdict? The general consensus seems to be that boys are more of a handful early on, and girls more challenging beginning in the preteen years. Hmmm sounds about right…
