im about to have my first girl which i cant wait for but am scared to never changed a girls bum before lol my mum says me and my sister were the worse to bring up but now we are always around her but my brother whos 20 lives in a house with 3of his mates i call him hugh heffner at the playboy mansion, my mum has to make an appointment to see him so whos worse sons or daughetrs

SONS!! Boys smell :-P becx

I'd say each bring their own challenges. My parents, who've had both, would say that they had more trouble, and more worry, with my sister than they did with me.

DAUGHTERS but my friends says SONS purely coz i got all girls and she has all boys lol limmie and emma xxx

Hi Kylie Have 2 daughters and 1 son (as if you didn't all know that by now!) On balance I think the girls have been harder and they're definitely more expensive to run! Daisy

You would say that tho Paul! lol Daisy

Kylie. I have 5 daughters, and if i can change there bums, then so can you. But put a peg on ya nose.lol Sorry. Cant comment on sons cos i aint got none. Tony Ozx

yes well I was the model child Daisy, never did anything wrong... not that they know of anyway lol seriously though, my sister was a pain in the rear...

Believe me Kylie, changing nappies is the easy bit! Much easier than boys cos they don't pee in your face! lol Daisy

I think Girls, you have so much more worry with them. Penny

I knew there was a reason for not having sons. Thanks Daisy. LOL Tony Oz

Karen - that carries on into adulthood doesn't it - men argue but then its done, and often forgotten. Women remember EVERYTHING lol

Was just thinking that. Girls squabble and bitch endlessly. Boys just punch each other then go out and play football. Daisy

At least sons can change the headlight bulb on their car on their own, whereas I froze my fingers off on Sunday changing one on my daughter's Mondeo. Left hand Mondeo bulbs are a pig, the battery and another control box are directly behind the light unit so there's no space to work in. Needed a large whisky by the time I'd finished.

I remember my daughter being a lovely polite doll playing little girl up until the age of about ten (when they start middle school) .....it then changes, I remember my son being a rough and tumble lad always getting dirty and fighting with his friends until the age of about ten(when he went up to middle school) the roles reversed, he s now a polite,friendly lad who respects his friends and helps me around the house,my daughter resembles Kevin(impressonated by Harry enfield)....but has more attitude..........Thank goodness I only have one daughter. Penny in Dorset.

I won't even put petrol in my car Brian! Can't stand the smell. Daisy

My little girl aged 9 was my first and she was adorable, until her little brother came along. I was scared of changing his nappy, I think the girls nappy is easier. Now the little girl is so Bitchy and horrible to her 6 year old brother, I feel so sorry for him. I think boys are more loving and cuddlier. She hates getting near me now, I suppose it's cause I am all ways telling her to stop picking on him. I myself have 3 sisters and when we all lived together we had our arguments but it wasnt that bad. I think every child is different. You will love her.

Hi Kylie, hope your getting plenty of rest! I've got two of each and would agree with Debbie. I think wee boys are more affectionate, girls want to grow up too quickly. As for arguing, all mine argue, from the 19 year old down to the 5 year old! LOL Christine

There really isn't an answer to this question, it's purely subjective. I have one of each, they have their own unique qualities and personalities, it would be impossible for me to choose which one was 'easier'

Nanny to 4 boys & baby girl, all have so many different qualities but to be honest even though I love her dearly the boys are angels compared to there sister.
