Author: I was dissapointed when the doctor was telling me for my second pregnancy that I was having a boy because my family is full of girls and I never really dealt with baby boys before (plus I really didnt want to have to buy all new clothes, I know I am cheap), however, everybody kept reassuring me that boys are a lot easier. Why is that? And if that is true, why do people also keep telling me that girls catch on quicker than boys (i.e talking, toilet training, counting etc.)?
Honestly I cannot tell you why and to be honest when ppl told me that i didn’t believe them! But, I have a 2 1/2 year old little boy and just had a girl (she’s 6 wks old) and there is noooo comparison! My little boy what 10x’s easier! I want to know why too b/c she’s killin’ me!! lol! Good Luck!

Because boys are smarter than girls

My boy was easier than my 2 girls. He was calmer as an infant, sweeter, and much easier to bottle-break and potty train. My girls were horrible infants who wouldn’t even sleep through the night until they were 7-10 months old. That all changes once they get to toddlerhood though. My girls were sweet tots, and my son became your typical aggressive boy.

I had a little boy first and he was so easy compared to the girls I have. He wasn’t as fussy, he was easy to change, he was cuddly and so he wasn’t always getting into things. Girls are louder and scream for fun where boys don’t do that as often. Girls also get urinary tract ifections a lot easier than boys do. Girls just seem to be a lot tougher then boys when they are little.

Gee! It sounds like everyone got off easier then I did! My son has been a hellyan from day 1! He was a very fussy baby and is a VERY active toddler. I guess you just get what you are given.

Do you think people might be telling you that boys are easier than girls because they are trying to placate you, given that you are ‘dissapointed’ that you are having a boy? They might be trying to make you feel better.
One thing that I have learned is that each baby, regardless of anything, is an individual in his or her own right. If you expect to have a difficult baby then you may well have one; if you think it’s going to be easier, then that may be true. But the experience is going to be amazing, never the less.
I hope that you grow to see having a boy in the family as a blessing and wish you all the very best.

I honestly cant tell you why, cause I’ve only had a boy but he seems pretty calm and sweet. but what I can tell you is theres this site its called freecycle, dunno if youve heard about it but theres yahoo groups that are designated to be free to get rid of all your stuff and keep the landfills clear, I got a majority of my newborn clothes for free and a bunch of nursery furniture all you got to do is pick it up from the persons home. check it out, itll save ya alot of money.

i have a 2 and half year old boy and a 1 month old boy i can’t say wheither or not they are easier than girls but i think all kids are quite different in their own way.. i know me being female i was quite difficult for my mother than my older brother was..but i think my two boys are quite good..my oldest is going through terrible twos right now which is not fun..but as a baby he was great. I wanted a girl..but after my first son i couldn’t imagine having a girl first, and i wanted a girl the second time so i could have one of each..but again i would not change anything. I am hoping tho on my third try i have a girl..but having a brother to protect the other siblings is great.. dont worry just enjoy being a mom
