Hofstra, you are not funny. 
Awww..........and your opinion, sweet little LIF Zygote with your whopping 23 posts, means a whole lot of nothing to me. 
Now let's get back on topic and get over it.

You REALLY need to let it go............unless of course you have read all of my (almost) 11,000 posts to really be able to comment.
Seriously, there is no reason for this nonsense on this thread. The OP asked a question, I answered, and if you don't like the response then that's your issue. Have a lovely day.
EDIT - To the OP.............based on MY experience, girls are easier than boys. But that's just me!

i have no beef with Hofstra, we post on many of the same threads and have many things in common
but
for someone who does NOT have a boy, those are some pretty bold comments

Honestly, it was just my opinion based on the little boys I know. They are seriously wild. Of course I know that's not applicable to every little boy but I do know a few who will give you a run for your money.
Again though, I'm only basing what I said off the few little ones I know. I don't really think that what I said was bold, it was just an observation. And looking at these boys next to my DD I think just magnifies their behavior because my DD is just so mellow.

Re: boys vs girls
I think that it depends...DS was a nightmare as a baby and continues to be very strong willed DD was easier as a baby and is more passive.

Re: boys vs girls
Based on my experience, girls are *easier*. They are screechier, but they will sit and color for 2 hours. Sit and watch a movie. Sit and do play-doh. But will screech when they are happy, sad, mad, annoyed.....
My son is constantly moving, constantly climbing, throwing, jumping, running. If it can be scaled and jumped from, he's doing it. Plus he learned about the power of screeching from his sisters.
My 2 nephews are the same way- active, active, active.

Re: boys vs girls
I honestly think it depennds on the kid, regardless of gender. I havr seen little girls who are nightmares, and little boys who are very hyper. From my experience, I think it also depends on the kid's rank vb in birth order, meaning first borns are the calm ones, and younger siblings tendvto be the more active ones. In my family, we chalk it up to the younget ones trying to keep up with the bigger ones. My dd is 5 months and extremely relaxed and go with the flow. Then again, dh and I are also.

Re: boys vs girls

Oh god no!!! Not at all!!!
I think as babies and little kids girls are SOOOOOOOOO much easier!!!!! I think as a teen my DD will be a PITA but the past 3 years..........the kid is a DREAM!!! Seriously, she could NOT be easier. I literally cannot think of one thing she does that drives me nuts. She has been an amazing sleeper since birth, she is so easy going, she always listens, she is helpful, she doesn't climb on anything, she can entertain herself, she sits quietly and reads or plays with her toys........in the right way!! It's a breeze having a girl, I truly do not have any stress whatsoever. Easy, easy.
Now...........my friends with boys!!.............I do NOT know how they survive day to day. It's like chasing after little monkeys all day. They are constantly bouncing off the walls, they never sit still, they don't listen, nothing holds their interest. I thank god every day I have a girl!!!
I generally don't get involved with drama or the sort on these boards, but I cannot help but make an observation here.....
I sincerely hope that your online persona is not indicative of your real life demeanor..You really have a way of putting things, and it's not good...
Sorry, as you have your opinions, I also have mine. And I will add that this has nothing to do with anyone having thick skin on these boards or not...It's a matter of being insensitive in general.....Take from it what you will, but you come off very pompous (again my opinion which I am relatively sure you will graciously point out is irrelevant to you) , but that's ok (I have "thick" skin  )
To the OP, I honestly think it's truly dependant on the individual child (gender regardless), especially as babies...I have both genders and all 3 of them are so very different and have continued to change through each stage (newborn, toddler, and now for my DS, grade schooler) ..I have done nothing different and they are all both the same and opposite in so many ways

You're entitled to your opinion. There isn't much else to say on this topic other than the unfortunate part of forums, emails, and texts is that one's tone is usually lost in the words. Thank god for emoticons because honestly, it's the only way to convey if you're being funny, serious, arrogant, sincerely nice, grouchy, happy, etc.
IRL............I have a sarcastic sense of humor but it's never meant to truly be mean or insensitive and anyone IRL knows that about me. Sarcasm, humor, joking, unless specifically pointed out on a thread, seems to get lost.......and not just with me, I've seem it with others too.
In any case, my comment was in no way meant to be rude, I think I've made that clear many a time on this thread. But again, you're entitled to your opinion and I have no hard feelings, it's just a public forum.........I don't hold grudges and I acknowledge that we won't all agree all of the time. And that's okay with me.

I think it's just different.

Re: boys vs girls
I think it really is the child and the parent and how they are raised. There are so many variables.
For someone that only has one sex to comment really doesn't make sense in my opinion.

Re: boys vs girls
I really don't think there is any way that this thread could answer the OP's question at all.
No two children are the same, for everyone who says they have a girl who sits pretty with a halo on their head 24/7 giving out food at a soup kitchen and curing cancer...another mom will swear their girl is the anti-christ who wrestles wildebeasts and barks at rabid squirrels on the regular.
I don't think girls or boys are "easier", it's all about the individual child.

Think before you speak, really... What if god blesses you with a boy one day? You may mean no harm, but adding a few guys doesn't make what you said any nicer, or funny.
My son was a dream baby. My daughter was rough until about four months - and even up until 16 months or so she was pretty demanding. It's not a matter of girls vs. boys, it all has to do with the child's temperament and age. I don't prefer one over the other, they both have their challenges and amazing rewards

Ironically, you just described my nephew and niece in complete opposition.
My nephew is the quiet, mild mannered child. Since he was a little one he could sit and occupy himself with legos, coloring, watching a movie, whatever.
But my niece? Oh GOD she is ON WHEELS!!! That child can't sit still to save her life, she is in CONSTANT MOTION.
They both great kids and equally well behaved.
I think the whole notion that one is better behaved or "easier" than the other is a huge misnomer. Everyone has a personality, regardless of sex...I honestly don't think one is more easy than the other.

Re: boys vs girls
My DD is usually pretty good, but she has some moments. I legit called my mom one night when she wouldn't stop screaming and said I was pretty sure she was possessed by a demon and I was expecting her to start spitting green pea soup at me.
I expect when my child is able to really speak, she will bark at things.

When we get together with my brother and his family, I sit with my mouth agape as I watch my nephews almost seem to levitate with energy. Of course I see my own son doing the same thing- I swear the kid has superpowers with how fast he moves- and I get whiplash trying to keep an eye on him.
Then I turn to my brother who is sitting in a corner cringing and covering his ears from the dolphin-pitch shrieks from my girls. I swear, it's like my DH and I are immune to it now.

Re: boys vs girls
to answer the original question...
my girl was my good sleeper, not my boy. He's still up with the sun, and it took him years to sleep through the night.
generally they were both pretty good babies, and even now at almost 4 and 6, I wouldn't say one is harder than the other. He may play rougher, but she's more temperamental and particular. It all balances out.
