[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am friends with a lot of people with ~10 year old kids.

Those with 1 kid only? Marriage and life is good.

Those with 2 kids all girls? Marriage and life is good.

Those with 2 kids all boys? Marriage in the shitter.

No kidding, but I've had the convo with multiple friends in the last 2 months about how much more horrible 2 boys is versus all the other possibilities. No sex, verge of divorce, household is constant state of stress, yelling and chaos.  But 2 girls in and around age 10? It's like there are three moms - making dinner, cleaning, and doing compliant work to make the house hold run better.  Boys is literally what's pushing my friends to divorce.[/quote]

Ugh. This notion that girls are just little mommies is so wrong, or at least not the case in my house! Try having a very bright and highly emotional daughter with ADHD inattentive whose extremely jealous of her younger sibling.  She does.no chores (I've tried, but she fights everything). She screams and shoves her toddler brother and is constantly needing emotional support.  It's hard. And she's 9.  My toddler son is emotionally less complex but never stops moving and requires constant supervision as he's always finding ways to destroy the house or hurt himself.[/quote]
