How hard is it raising Boys?

  • April says:
    It is very hard at times because boys are more rambunctius than girls. Next, tmost boys get into more trouble an they are not as layed back as girls!
  • Jessica says:
    I don't think it's hard at all. I want all boys
  • Shavon says:
    I DON'T HAVE BOYS, BUT HAVE BABYSAT A LOT OF BOYS AND GIRLS, AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER, I DO THINK BOYS TEND TO BE MORE RAMBUNCTIOUS THAN GIRLS, BUT I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE CHILD THERE ARE CALM BOYS AND THERE ARE TERRORS, SAME WITH GIRLS, MY GIRL IS VERY RAMBUNCTIOUS COMPARED TO MOST, AND HER DAD WAS A VERY SHY CALM BOOKWORM WHEN HE WAS LITTLE AND I WAS ALSO VERY CALM AND SHY, SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SAY IS EASY OR HARD UNTIL YOUR CHILD COMES
  • Sue says:
    Not hard at all.
  • Adele says:
    I love my boys , its hard as they have this energy level that just keeps on going.
  • Narelle says:
    My son 15 months and is flat out constantly. i think some days he is just too busy to sleep and has the attention span of a fish. I only have neices and i cant belive how different little boys and girls are. He is also the only boy in our mothers group and the other mums are always so jelous though of how cuddly he is, which he is and it is so lovely. Boys love their mums.

  • Teresa says:
    When I was a first time mom it was very challeneging and when i had 3 of them under 4yrs that was one of the tuffest times in my life. But now that I have a girl I can see that wrestling is fun no matter the gender but being tough of toys and the house is more of a boy thing. But when they get older they are sure a big help around the house.

    My boys have lots of energy. I have 2 boys no girls so i dont know ?.,what its like to raise a girl. i think it would be about the same
  • Katie says:
    it is not that hard
  • Kay says:
    Trying to be a role-model they can look up to as a male, the nuances of just being a man that a woman can't convey. No matter how strong of a woman one can be it can never be conveyed into maleness....
  • Tiffany says:
    I have two boys and they are the opposite sides of the spectrum. I can say that they each pose their difficulties. Raising kids in general is tough, but I love having the boys. They are tough, but very loving.

    It depends, my oldest son has been such a struggle from the time he was born, my 2 youngest boys are so easy compared to him. I just believe boys have more energy and keep you going all the time. I do believe they are easier than girls though
  • Alena says:
    I have 2 boys 5 & 8 and find it pretty easy...so far :)

  • Tina says:
    very hard
  • Kara says:
    dont know
  • Janine says:
    I dont think its any harder than raising girls, but it gets a bit harder when they get older and you cant show your affection like you used to. I think the attitude is all the same - no matter what sex.

    I am the mother of two boys and no girls. Raising boys has it challenges but I wouldn't change anything. My life is filled with skulls and legos but does not seem to have the drama that my girlfriends with girls have in their lives.
