which is the best behaved girl or boy?

Question

ive got 2 girls and they have got the biggest attitude problem ever! what are your views on which is better behaved?

Answer 1

i think both girls and boys go through stages. my daughter (who' now 10) was an angel when she was little and now she's very cheeky! my son is coming up 7 and he's quite destructive and defiant at times but having said that, both of them can be just as good as they are bad. as the saying goes "when they're good, they're very very good, and when they're bad, they're EVIL!

Answer 2

That would really depend on their ages, i have 3 natural children 2 and girls of 15 and 11 and a boy of 13 and 2 step sons 26 and 23 and they are all as bad as each other, they have not got better with age and the younger ones will try to copy what the older ones are doing, yet i have 2 friends one has 3 boys that are as good as gold another has 4 girls and they are also as good as gold but they are all aged 10 and under, what was your girls like when they was younger? i started to see and hear all the attitude from my lot from the ages of 12 and up and that's including my step sons.

Answer 3

I think it balances out. I have a 4 year old son and he's got a big attitude problem we are working on right now. On the flip side, I had a 3 year old little girl that was in my in-home daycare that was a complete monster! (I finally had to let the family go because of her uncontrollable behaviors) So I think it's all just dependent on the child and of course some of it parenting too. Thankfully my son has always been a very good listener...it's just his age right now, he's been testing me so I just have to keep on him about it :-)
I'm really interested to see how different his little sister will be, she's 6 months old and very "opinionated" and "active" LOL

Answer 4

I had 3 sons, followed by a daughter - all now grown and flown. From experience I would say that it has nothing to do with the sex of the child, but rather the child's personality and often to its position within the family. (I do have to admit though that my daughter gave me far less bother than my sons!). Having said that, the boys each had totally different personalities (although they have the same set of parents) and it was one in particular who proved to be very difficult - the second, who was also the middle one of the 3 boys. As I struggled to make sense of his behaviour, I came into contact with other parents who all complained of problems with second children - sometimes the second of just 2 children, but more often they were also middle children. It's something to do with them not knowing their place within the family, ie., neither the youngest nor the oldest. I know this really doesn't relate to you, as you have just 2 children, but others may be able to relate to this. I've just noticed that you've put this question under Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers so assume your girls are very young. I found the problems increased as he grew older and it was all a question of attitude! It may be, however, that your daughters are being horrors now, but will change once they get to school and have the chance to develop their skills, as is sometimes the case. Of course my son is now an adult and a father himself; he is able to recognise and admit to being a very difficult child and teenager. I hope that you too go on to enjoy your daughters as they grow-up and mature, but it can be hard work sometimes I know!

Answer 5

I would say each are best behaved at different times and ages. Though i have a girl and two boys and they both have there ups and downs. The difference that i have mainly found that when my daughter is naughty she is much better about lying! But when the boys are they just do it and take the consequence's!

Answer 6

I have 2 girls, aged 3 and 6, and apart from the eldest being a winge, they are so well behaved and polite and caring, i have a lot of freinds who have boys, and there very hyper all the time.

I would say girls are easier, but only cos there not as rough as boys.

Answer 7

I think it all depends on the child. I've got two boys and people are always telling me that boys are better behaved than girls - try telling that to my sons when they're going off on one!

In my opinion they can both be as bad. We just have to take the rough with the smooth and ride out the storm and try and enforce discipline (when needed) and respect.

Good luck

Answer 8

Hmm tricky one this. As a baby and a toddler my son was a nightmare, always crying, wanted constantly feeding and then when the terrible two's hit I thought I was in hell, my girl on the other hand was a quiet baby, always smiling and happy....then the tables turned...shes 9 going on 18...bad attitude etc and hes 11, mature as you like, always does what he's asked without stomping up the stairs and slamming the door after him! So to be fair to both sexes i think its swings and roundabouts and obviously down to a certain amount of their individual personalities.

Answer 9

I've heard that girls are worse than boys and I've heard that girls are worse than boys! You know what the problem is!!! The parents!! No matter what sex the child is and no matter what the age of the child is it's behavior falls back on the parents. I have two children and they have their moments but they know right from wrong and know how to behave.
Answer: It's all on how they are reaised and it all falls back on the parents!!

Answer 10

In my family - boys. My brother was an angel, I was a demonic child. Funny really cos everyone said I looked like a perfect little doll, unfortunately I behaved like chucky. Cute, evil, little girl.

Answer 11

I have one of each, both generally well behaved.
However my son is soooo cheeky, think he knows it all, has an answer for everything.
My daughter occasionally has a strop when things don't go her way.
In answer to your question, I would say girls are better behaved.
