To all parents....What offspring is easier to raise, A son or a daughter?

Question

I ha a question to sons and daughters about which parent is better: Mom or dad?

Now it's the Parent's turn to answer.

Answer 1

can be either one . depends on how you raise them . some can be difficult some can be easy . for moms there will be times that raising a daughter is better since they are both female and the mother would know how to deal with anything like body issues and all while same goes for father and son .... It would be easier for a father to deal with a son's question about manly things . but overall aside from the physical issues it just really depends . Although they say girls might be easier to raise while young since they tend to be a lot less active than boys but when all grown up then that's another issue ....

Answer 2

Being a single mom of a son & a daughter, I would have to say, my daughter is easier. We are so much alike and I know her potential, her limits; it's just like a little minnie-me. We fight like cats & dogs though. (because we are so much alike). My son & I never have any problems. We spend a lot of time together playing sports & just hanging out. It would seem that he would be the easier one, but being a mom (not a dad), I fear that I am not teaching him the things that he could get from a father figure. Just the testosterone in general. I'm tough on him, but he's my baby & I may spoil him too much, not knowing (like I do my daughter) what he can take. So as odd as it may sound to anyone who knows me, my daughter is actually the easier of the two.

Answer 3

A son. For whatever reason (societal expectations, perhaps), a son knows that his decisions are important and he should consider them carefully. Even if he's a real rebel who acts out all the time, he knows consequences are there even if he's doing his best to pretend they don't.
Girl can screw up 100 different ways without ever acting anything but dumb. And for whatever reason, despite protestations that they should be taken seriously, they don't think in terms of consequences because they think Mom and Dad will take care of them. A guy is not going to be Mom and Dad's little boy when he's older unless he's a wuss, unemployed and living at home. Most men know this and try to avoid that. They know they will be heads of households and the challenge is to do that right.

Answer 4

I have 3 boys and 1 girl. In my own personal experience, the boys are much easier. They are wild and love to play and be rough, but they are much better behaved than my daughter. However that may be due to the fact that she is a tad bit spoiled being the only girl on my husbands side of the family for the last 4 generations. She's a princess and she knows it.

Answer 5

I dont have a son but my 4 y/o princess is not always a princess... head strong and bossy.... And as for which parent is better - Id say Mom - Catch 22 with mothers and daughters - The love to hate each other and sometimes hate to love each other....

Answer 6

Well, I only have 2 sons, but compared to all of my friends with daughters I think I have the easier path.

Answer 7

It's not a gender issue because each has their own personality and role of either son or daughter which will always be. Mom and dad are as one teacher.. no matter the house ~yet two personalities.

Answer 8

properly shall we see I have both. easily I have 3. My firstborn, my son, became ordinary to administration till eventually I had my daughter 2 years later. at the same time as she became about 2 then it began getting extra sturdy. She is now 5 and that i definalty imagine its extra obtainable to develop a boy. of route, I now have yet another boy who's 8 months in the present day! women are not ordinary. extraordinarily mine reason shes the purely lady round. My sister has 2 boys also so my daughter is largely the princess!

Answer 9

I would say that a girl is easier to raise, I have one girl and two boys and she was a great deal easier than the boys. It could just be because she was the first child, not sure. I hear that as she gets older it will become harder, and the boys will become easier not sure yet

Answer 10

Sons are easier than daughters. You will worry less about your son. You will stay up at nights worring about your daughter considering the world we live in. Young girls are always in danger from the wrong man. Sons rarely are in danger from the wrong woman.
