Parents with both a boy and girl?

Question

What are the major differences between them? Of course, I'm not referring to the obvious physical differences. I'm referring to personality wise, emotionally, mentality, etc...

Answer 1

how old are the kids? are they twins. I have 2 boys and 1 girl and they are very different. Girls and boys can both be sensitive. They also can get right down rough housing and getting dirty. They do play alittle different thought, a boy is just always climbing or screaming and a girl can just sit there playing dolls or whatever so quietly. I find my daughter is much easier to get to do her chores and don't give me arguments about showering or anything like that where my sons can't be bothered with that. But when It comes time to get dressed and do the hair watch out. This is the biggest difference I find between the 2. My sons couldn't care what they wear or how they look. There is alot more but I will save those for other people. good luck!

Answer 2

Every child is different, so this only applies to my kids, someone elses might be the complete opposite. Because we have both boys and a girl, we have lots of toys that would be traditionally considered gender specific - i.e. action figures, arts and crafts, barbies. We find that the boys do lean towards "boy" stuff and our daughter to the girl stuff, but they all play fine with the opposite also.

Personality wise, my daughter is more serious, a better reader at this point, more into art and quieter activities. She can be a bit moody, but mostly is pretty calm. The boys are more active and tend to be more dramatic - getting mad, or sad, more often. They get in trouble more, because they do more naughty things! Our oldest son, age 7, is a mix of very responsible and sweet and helpful, and a little devil. Our daughter, age 7, is responsible for her own things, but pretty useless with anyone elses, and hardly ever gets in trouble. Our 5 year old is a handful, but very sweet and loving, totally useless when it comes to helping out.

I also think a lot depends on birth order. Because our two oldest are adopted, and our oldest son is only 5 months older than our daughter, they both have a lot of first child traits. Our youngest child has a lot of medical issues, so he is somewhat delayed, mostly in the communication area.

Hope this helps!

every human being is different. My son is very emotional and caring and my daughter is a cold hearted snake. She's a Virgo though, so what do you expect. LOL Expect most boys to be outdoors-y types, my son is currently in a cast, he broke his ankle during football, and these things never end (neither do the bills). Look to spend a lot more money on the girls though. But then again, that depends on age. I got all of my son't school clothes, including socks and undershirts for a little less than $100.00. Just spent $600.00 on my daughter and we are no where near done. Anyway, just remember that as human beings, we can not be classified and are all different.

Answer 4

It doesn't depend on the sex of the child that makes them different but there personality's. My sister's son is very emotional and kind hearted where as my niece is stubborn and hard headed. On the other hand there are boys that are tough and stubborn and girls that are kind hearted. It really has nothing to do with gender and all about how there personality's are.
My son is 17 months old and is such a little boy where as my nephew was never really like him when he was his age but is now tougher than he was back when he was a baby. Kids change all the time. My little girl is only 7 months so I haven't gotten a good glimpse of what she is going to be like when she gets older. She is such a good baby now but who knows what her personality is going to be like in a couple of months.
My other sister has a 9 year old boy and a 4 year old girl and they are just alike. Tough nuts.
So it's really hard to answer your question because really, there just isn't a answer to it.
It just all depends on there genetic makeup.

Answer 5

My daughter was alot more mature at my son's age. There is a huge difference there. Also, my daughter thinks the world revolves around her. My son doesn't care who the world revolves around as long as SOMEONE, ANYONE is paying attention to him. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, other then my son is a pain in the uh huh to potty train and my daughter was a breeze!!

Answer 6

My son is more strong willed and needs a stronger form of discipline whereas my daughter is more compliant. My daughter seems more independent than my son, she want to do everything herself and he wants me to do everything for him. There is a big difference in bed time routine. My daughter goes right down and never gets out of bed but my son is up again and again. Oh, and my son has been injured a few times and had to go the the emergency room (normal boy bumps and bruises, plays more rough than her) and our daughter has never been to the emergency room (thank God).

Answer 7

It actually depends on the age of each child. My son was quiet and easy to handle when he was little. Somewhere around 13 he lost all his brains and kept forgetting stuff. My daughter was a handful from birth. Very active child, who got into everything. As a teen ager she scared the daylights out of me. Fortunately, they've both grown up to be fairly well adjusted adults.

Answer 8

at the start, if your frightened approximately what they are doing... please have the communicate with them. i'm so saddened via interpreting on right here how childrens and preteens are complaining via fact they are mum and dad have not had the communicate. it rather is remarkable, childrens easily ***** approximately having their mum and dad.. no longer seek advice from them approximately intercourse. enable them to renowned your they are for them to return seek advice from, and that it is not some taboo concern they might desire to sneak around approximately. teenagers are going to be curious no count what, even at age 8. All you're able to do is communicate and carry them the terrific you could, keep an eye fixed out, yet don't get so paranoid over it which you push them to do some thing. in the event that they easily need to do it, whether or no longer they are doing it at your abode or no longer, they'll do it. One sturdy ingredient you have going for you is a sister and a brother. In my kin, although you may desire to tell your chum her brother is lovable.. you does not attempt to pass that some distance with your sisters brother in her abode.. at the same time as staying along with her... that replaced into in basic terms.. slutty to be elementary. As I stated in spite of the undeniable fact that, communicate with your little ones quickly, and once you sense they are waiting. it rather is greater clever secure then sorry, and learn teenagers tell one yet another issues like "in case you wash it out, you could no longer get pregnant" you will possibly rather them know the actuality from you, than know the incorrect issues, from their pals.

Answer 9

i don't really find a difference until puberty. girls and boys both play the same. usually the reason girls play with dolls, and boys with trucks..is because their parents don't give them a choice and gender assign toys to the child.

i let my sons and my daughter play with what ever toy THEY find attractive. my son would sometimes play with baby dolls. nothing wrong in that...and my daughter loves hot wheels. (so did i growing up)
as they get older is where the differences occur. girls mature faster and seem a bit more level headed faster, where as boys tend to take their time maturing.

Answer 10

Every child is unique, alot depends on the way you raise them. Other than that there really isn't much difference, although I've heard many people say different because as I already said, every child is unique.
