[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so grateful I had both genders- girl, boy, girl. I’m sure I would have had up to 5 to have a girl. 3 was what we wanted though. Stupid, but I don’t think my life would have been complete without a girl. I just had so much I wanted to share with my daughters!

That being said, I love my son a lot too. [b]I’m glad I didn’t only have girls because I find women who only had girls to be out of touch[/b]. [/quote]

Can you elaborate on this? Because my mom only had girls, I only have boys, and I feel like a lot of her endless criticism of my parenting stems from this.[/quote]

This is so real. My mom had ADD girls. I have ADHD boys. It’s not the same assignment. [/quote]

Out of touch on how hard it is to parent boys?

I only have girls and am curious. But I suspect it may be different when the kids get older. Out of touch on how hard parenting teen girls can be [/quote]

I wouldn't say its more difficult at all, but there are trends in behavior that follow gender, despite the plentiful outliers. We all know tomboys and less active boys and gendered qualities are a mixed bag in any individual. Still, a cub scout meeting and a daisy meeting would be a great glimpse into the differences where a small faction of moms to only girls will be bewildered and aghast at boy behavior declaring parents raising boys who will rape and plunder the world because they are not under control and boys will be boys is an excuse of jackals but the likelihood is that boys will be boys and girls will be girls. The stress is somewhat flipped when tween drama hits and of course there are outliers again (I know a few boys that stand out from the rest in creating drama and many chilled out girls). Again, its not a flaw to feel high levels of energy as a child or high levels of emotion as a tween/teen. Its just stuff we have to go through and having kids who conform or rebel from gender norms is not something that needs to be shamed.[/quote]

Exhibit A of stupid gendered nonsense.[/quote]
