Right now I'd happily trade my eldest son for a marginally trained monkey. My eldest daughter (who just announced her engagement at 19.. I'm startled) is a great young lady, but she drives me bats regularly.
My 9 year old son, however, alternates between sweet little boy and demon child.
All said, kids are gonna give you grey hair. The gender seems immaterial.
i will agree that girls are more about the 'relationship' issues once they go all teenager on you, which grated on me.
"What did you do in school today, honey ?"
"well, i was talking with kari and her and britney had a fight and i'm so upsed that bobby and heather broke up and..."
"Uh, well, did you take any classes ?"
... moment of silence....
"Mom! Daddy's saying stupid stuff again ! Mommmmm! "
