It’s funny that you say with boys, there’s no “No frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails”.

We just had our 8 year old granddaughter visiting from out of state. She spent the good part the the day catching frogs and tadpoles at a local pond.

Then when I took her shopping, and told her I would buy her a toy. She couldn’t decide between a “flywheel” or a remote control truck. After much deliberation, she chose the truck. When asked if she was home sick, she said “Yes, I miss my dog”. (She’s a lot like her mother, who was also a bit of a “tom boy”.)

I remember a saying, that goes something like this…..”with boys, you only have to worry about the boys, and with girls, you only have to worry about the boys”.

How true.

I get my pics on iStockPhoto. There are so many awesome pictures there. They’re worth the price.

And I’ll always wonder what would be like to raise girls Unless we go for a third attempt.

[...] I’m not sure how Journey 2 Retirement could have skipped driving in her list of future worries, but she undertakes to scientifically analyze who is harder to raise - boys or girls. [...]

I have always said if I could be guaranteed a boy we would have 4 kids instead of our 2 boys . When they become teenagers, all bets are off. One of my biggest worries during the teen years (and now) concerns driving. This would go for both sexes.

LOL, this is funny. I must say teenage boys can become harder they tend to get in legal trouble than girls. I personally think to each it’s own.

As a female, when I became a teenager I was not as diffucult, I never went crazy for boys I just wanted to form a business and make money. My interests was saving money and playing in the band. I guess each girl is different.

The chart releys the truth, but each child will know how far to push their parents
