[quote lafinfil][quote elmo3]As long as there is both a mother and a father in the house, in order to offer up both the male and female perspectives on life, your children--no matter the gender--will be fine, and you won't have any more difficulty with one than the other.
Boy - talk about narrow minded
The only thing left out was that mom is stay at home and bakes cookies all day
What an insult to hard working successful single parents everywhere.
thank you, lafinfil. glad you spoke up. having been raised by a single mom of a boy and a girl i was annoyed by that statement. my mom did a darn good job - her parenting is one of the reason i chose to become a mom. i wanted to pass it on. oh, yeah - i'm a single parent also. since i'm not raising my son under a rock i think his life is filled with a lot of different perspectives.
and as to the original question, i don't know if girls or boys are easier but i think i'm a better mom to a son than i might have been to a daughter. i have constant reminders that "He is NOT me..."
