I come from a family of three boys who fought all the time. I imagine that raising a family of girls would be so much easier, it would be all making daisy chains and platting hair. Am I right?

I come from a family of women. My poor father went through all shades of hell when we were younger, either pulling us apart when we were fighting (and boy, did we fight!), to trying to get into one of the three bathrooms! I can't even imagine what he went through as we started 'courting'. Some of the blokes we brought home were unimaginably unsuitable, yet he treated them all with the same wry sense of humour and probably a massive amount of worry.
I now have a family of boys. In comparison, they are wonderful and charming. No trouble at all (apart from a slight altercation with a bottle of Bacardi, but that's another story!). Their girlfriends are lovely and they have been the joy of my life.
My sisters and I did make daisy chains (to strangle each other with) and the only plaiting of hair that took place was as we laced our fingers into each others hair to get a better grip!
Be warned! Girls can be absolutely vicious!
One addition though, now we are married and living our own lives apart from each other, we are rarely off the phone to each other. We are, in fact (very belatedly) the very best of friends.

I have 2 sons 10 & 8 and i would say so far it's been really easy they do what they are told , are doing well at school have lots of friends , i come from a family of 5, 2 girls & 3 boys and us girls were always picking on the boys who were older so i would say with experience that boy are easier to bring up. And i would rather have a boy than a girl girls are hard work according to my parents

it depends but it doesn't mean girls aren't gonna fight...we are 3 sisters and we use to fight all the time over dolls and stuff like that. I don think we are more gentle than boys....but is not all about daisy chains and platting hair...you are in for a big surprise mister.....ooohh and when they are teens just the responsibility of teaching them values and stuff so that they don't get home with a belly. Good luck

No chance, Its much easier with boys, I have got 2 girls and a boy and my lad is an angel who does what he is told most of the time without an argument, if I ask one of the girls to do something I get tears and tantrums followed by mouth and attitude. Both of my girls have also been destructive. Girls are bitchy and spiteful as well

On average, I'd say girls are easier - at first! Like the first 10 years maybe, but once they hit puberty, look out man! They are really clicky too, even at young ages and their feelings are more easily hurt than a boys. I think if boys have a problem, they just duke it out and get it over with whereas girls hold grudges and talk behind each others backs and say nasty things.

Yeah, cause girls are sugar and spice and everything nice, while boys are mindless hellraisers... oh, wait. That's totally untrue.
A family of girls can be just as unpleasant as a family of boys, although fighting is usually less physical and more emotionally intense. Every kid is different, and it's impossible to know how a given family will relate until it exists.

I don't think so.
I had one brother so we were a mixed household - mum, dad, one boy one girl, and my brother and I still fought (he was younger so I usually won - hehe!)
My mum grew up in a totally female househole - she had three sisters, her widowed mum and her elderly grandma and apparently each and every day was like a vicious catfight. I can't beleive some of the things she and her sisters used to do to each other - she still doesn't talk to the eldest who was a real ***** to her (once beat my mum up with a metal hairbrush!!) She would loved to have had a brother around. Although with all those women he'd have been totally spoilt, most likely.

i am the youngest of four sisters. with all of the horrible things we did to eachother, i'm suprised we still talk to eachother. probably only cuz we are sisters and we are now older and can look past it. but if we were not sisters we would have nothing to do with eachother. i honestly have a son and would like to have two more sons someday. i don't want a girl. none is easy i honestly think boys are easier and i think it is proven. and beside, you cannot decide what you get unless you adopt.
i never want a daughter. if i have one, so be it, but if i could choose, all boys! if i have another and it is a girl, no more. i'm not risking having two daughters. if it is a boy i may try again. knowing my luck it will be a girl and she will have two possesive overprotective older brothers.

I don't think so. Imagine having 3 girls who all need make-up and $75 jeans and hair dye and all that girly stuff. I was a very demanding girl and i am sooo glad that i have a boy.

I've got four kids, 2 girls and 2 boys, so I feel qualified to say that it depends on their personalities.
I've got one fiery girl and one fiery boy. The other two are much more in the background. Their sex isn't the issue, it's their characters.
They're all equally loveable, equally endearing and equally horrible too.
