Oh yesssssssss, I love my daughter but if i had to do it all over again i think i would rather have 10 boys to raise!! My DS has been so much easier to raise over the years(he's almost 17 now).Scrape his knee when he was little, you tell him it's going to be okay and he's off and playing again. DD scrapes her knee, you will hear about it for the next 2 week!!! Now that dd is going on 13, it's mood swing city in this house. Yesterday dh teased her about a boy he thinks she might be interested in, even though i am making gestures at him to SHUT UP......OMG she had a total meltdown hissy fit because dh mentioned the boy's name.........UGH!!!

Oh yes. In fact when people ask me if i am going to try for a girl i tell them NO!! Too much drama!!

Of course if i had one i'd be thrilled but most of the girls i have known or done childcare for are very dramatic!!!

Boys are just wild and crazy but not tooooo much drama.

I have 5 boys and 2 girls. My oldest dd is autistic, so she's not really typical for a girl. But her younger sister, whew! She has all her brothers put together beat in the drama department. She's only 7, so I wonder how it's going to be in a few years.

Mags is 2.5yrs and is already obstinate and stubborn - I hope that it is not a foreshadowing of the horomone infested adolescence.

However!!!! Jared, I have a hard time getting him to sit still. Into climbing and learning about everything!!

Night and day! I am so thankful that I had my daughter first because she was such an easy baby. Logan is all over the place. I looked the other night and he was standing in the middle of the coffee table clapping because he was so proud of his climb! Liliana never did such dangerous things. On the other hand, at the ripe age of four, she is mouthy.

I only have girls but I do watch three boys that are 4, 3 and 2 and I can tell they are totally different! Some of the things that they do I cringe. I tell their mother I must be so over protective but I think it is because my girls just would never do that! She is so used to it that it is second nature.
Also they are really rough with my girls so of course there is a lot of crying and whining going on....all of the time!

My ds is 5 and he was always quiet and good, and stayed real close to me. My dd who is now 2 has been dramatic, loud, and wild!! Love them both, but I would have hesitated more if I had her first before having another that's for sure!

My girls were EASY, compared to this little hellion!

My CamCam is such a handful, he exhausts me on a daily basis. Today alone he got *3* timeouts, and that was just since we got home at 3:30. He just doesn't stop, he is contantly jumping, screaming, and overall driving everyone up a wall. He loves to pretend he is a rock band and bangs EVERYTHING like he is playing the drums. One day he's gonna crack my tv screen and I'm gonna break his rear!

My girls were NEVER like this. Yes, I had my issues with them, Samantha is a diva, Meghan is STUBBORN, but they are so much more calm than this guy.
