Parents poll/debate

I ask because I heard some people arguing about this the other day.  One was saying girls are a breeze and little boys are pure Satan spawn.  The other said boys are a cakewalk and girls will put the gray hairs on your head. 

Obviously this is a general question since every person is different. 

What do our parents here say?

I've heard that same thing Logan, so I guess people will have to base their vote on the overall picture, from ages 1-18.

People with young kids can still vote on their experience "to date" of course.

I'm not a parent but I don't think I'd handle raising a girl all too well. It seems from an outside view that would be the harder option.

The correct answer is "neither".

I only have a daughter (age 7), but she's been fairly easygoing I suppose.  Other boys her age in the neighborhood look like they're a lot harder to keep out of trouble.   But my daughter is intelligent and cunning, and by the time she's a teenager she will probably mind-game me to the brink of insanity.  We shall see.

I'll vote "boys" and hope I'm right.

I am not a parent and have only two male cats so I will not vote. But I also have a sister and have been told (and know as a fact obviously) that I was quite easy to raise up, I was very docile and non-rebellious. My sister was, well, a teenage girl at one point during her life, and her character was always much more difficult. Of course that doesn't mean anything. 

I only have two boys, so I can't really say.  They are a handful, to put it mildly.  There's truth to Logan's maxim, but there's obviously exceptions.

You'll have to post a pic of the "meltdown" face sometime

No vote. I have only one 17-year old daughter. She has become harder to raise since she entered her teens.
