[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will say girls bc there is bias and parents mostly mothers are harder on their daughters (less freedom bc misogyny …higher expectations on school etc) but I think girls are easier. I can live with the girl attitude, I can’t deal with the stagnant lazy energy of most teen boys. [/quote]

+1 I noticed this with a lot of my nephews. About 60% of them were like this. My nieces and daughter are not like this at all.[/quote]
-1 Sounds nothing like my sons or their friends.

As all the thoughtful posters have noted, it’s all about personality and family dynamics.  Our DD was lovely as a teen, as I’d our younger DS currently.  Neither of them changed much from their younger selves. Our older DS was easy in many ways—hard worker, funny smart, good friends and unusually good at open communication for a kid that age. But he also was/is extraordinarily strong-willed and wanted to go out to parties much more often that we were comfortable with. He and my equally strong-willed DH had epic screaming matches pretty frequently, which was unpleasant for all involved.[/quote]

I noticed is that the more they play video games, the less they are motivated to do stuff. [/quote]
