[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 boys (9 and 11). They are rambunctious at times, but keeping them in sports and kicking them out of the house to ride bikes or jump on the trampoline helps with that.

They are also really cuddly, love reading, do well in school, help with laundry and chores (granted with a billion reminders), and are family-oriented. They have tons of friends, but also still want to do stuff with us like watch movies and play board games. One has ADHD, which can be challenging at times, but is improving with age and medication.

I’m not sure whether this will change at some point during the teen years, but I know teen girls can be tough too.

I think the thing that may make some parents prefer a girl is that there are a subset of boys that can be really wild, behaviorally challenging, struggle in school, etc. Not that this doesn’t happen with girls, but it seems more likely in boys (also higher incidence of neurodivergence). But plenty of boys are also really sweet kids and if you end up with those they are great.[/quote]
Teen girls can be tough, to be sure, but they remain cuddly in their teen years. At least mine is (at 17).  She hugs me a lot.  Not so  my almost 21 year old DS. He stopped cuddling at like 9.

They are just different. One is not really better than the other. They each have their challenges.[/quote]
