[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of all the people I know who are meh about their kids or regret having kids, all of them have boys. I think daughters are superior children. [/quote]

You are a troll.  But I'll bite.

Boys experience ADHD/anxiety/Learning disabilities/depression/etc at a much higher level than girls.  Our education system is more geared towards typical girls---sitting at desks all day and having to focus for long periods which is incredibly hard for any kid with ADHD tendencies. My daughters could sit for hours and read books/color/focus at age 2, whereas I had to read to my son at age 2 while he ran around the playroom--he was listening but no way he was gonna sit still while I read to him for more than 2-3 mins, just was not going to happen, if he was awake he was going to be moving around constantly.

WRONG. [b]ADHD has the same prevalence across sex[/b]. Check your bias. [/quote]

Yes, but it often (not always but often) presents differently in girls.  Although school can be tough for those  with inattentive ADHD, it is torture for those who are hyperactive (like one of my sons, more common in boys).

Mom to 3 ADHDers - 1 DS who is hyperactive, 1 DD who is inattentive, and 1 DS who is inattentive.  [/quote]
