We do not have any children ourselves but often times we baby-sit our relatives' and good friends'. Most the mothers freely admit that it is much more difficult to raise daughters than sons especially these days. As an instructional aid at an all day day care, I have great daily opportunities to observe behaviors of 3 and 5 year olds. Of course, it is not an ideal environment for an unbiased behavioral study. Still, from what I have seen the girls are quite cruel with each other playing the emotional mind games, whereas the boys are quick to move on. Teenaged girls told me that the mind games are more vicious in high schools.
