It’s bad karma to chose the sex of your child..

YES, sorry I don’t mean to yell, but I really believe this

Amen.

I have two sons and one redhead daughter..I think it’s equal.

I disagree. My son was 10x easier than my daughters!! He probably gave me more grey hairs than my girls did though!

🤣😂🤣

I have one of each. Do they cancel the other out, in terms of the speed of my aging? 🤣

Here all you need to know about the difference between boys and girls. With boys, you have to worry about 1 penis. With girls, you have to worry about every penis in the world.

I’ve always thought that daughters make better fathers. While super alphas sit and let their little girls put makeup and nail polish on them, they can’t seem to converse with their pre-teen sons.

Fortunately I have 2 of each so they cancel each other out

I disagree; two girls and two boys. OMG…those girls wore me out! My boys were saints…but I love them all ❤️

Boys are easier on your heart, i don't buy it. Girls between 12 and 25 are a real handful. Boys are less drama and emotion.

Daughters take care of you… see it all the time…

Hahahhqhq I hear you but I had 4 daughters, 1 son not sure it's true!

I can also confirm. My son, God love him, is still aging me. He is the source of great joy and great angst, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💕 ok, less angst would be good…

i have three daughters. two of them are twins. i’m not so sure about this…

I would have thought the opposite! You go to the store, there is three racks of boys clothes. The rest is three acres of little girl everything!

For sure!

Dementia patients live longer if they have at least 3 daughters.

Raising children is like the Kobayashi Maru.

Not me, I'm glad I only had boys

Um, might want to ask my Dad about that! Four girls in the 60s/70s! Different times! LOL!

I wouldn’t know the difference! I only have boys! #blessed

I have boy/girl twins and beg to differ. They age you equally fast by different types of stress.

Were responses from fathers different from those of mothers?

This is so dumb.

Confirmed by Lyle and Erik Menendez.

They turn into absolute monsters! “Dad, I’m 16 now. Where’s my new jeep?” Me: “get a job!”

I can confirm that too having raised 3 sons!! 🤣

Allow me to retort....I have four daughters 👧👧👧👧

🤣😂

More worried for girls though both have a tough lot

Absolufuckingluty. Until they’re six. Then they’re a piece of cake and girls become Vampira at about ten. Two of each here. Boys have harder internal lives and that never, ever changes.

No way, girls are much more difficult to raise which would translate to more gray hairs and potentially a shorter lifespan. We’ve raised both.

not true !

Amen....

For real!!

Ahh that explains it! 😓

Lol i think it's prolly dependent on the kids.

Same

I can’t think why.

WHO DID THIS STUDY? RFK, JR?

Opposite here - my son was easy. From 15 to 18, I couldn't do anything right in my daughter's eyes

Not for me..my sons have been my joy!

I am not sure...

I had both. I still got old, fast.

true

Thats because people don’t parent their sons. They leave that to the poor women who marry their useless manchildren.

Same

lol

Can confirm as well. Got 3 of them.

Me too!💯💯💯

lol you make up for it with your beloved daughters tho. But my brother is incredible if I do say so myself. One of Natures gentlemen just like our Dad and the male, (and female really) family forebears. I can talk ☺️cause I’m out of the danger zone into grandma/auntie zone

A European study about gender bias by teachers. Contrary to my naive assumption that this was an American phenomenon. cepr.org/voxeu/column...

I have a five month old daughter. I find myself tryin to be gentler with things because I have to be gentle with her. Getting a lot of peace from her I haven’t had before.

That explains a lot. Lol. But I still wouldn’t trade it for the world. 14 yrs and counting

Up until they're teenagers.

Mine did or should I say still does my daughters not so much. The are all grown with children

Trips to the ER probably account for some of that. Especially when you have to work the next day and you got maybe two hours of sleep.

😂

I told my kids that as long as I paid their attorneys’ fees and bail, they didn’t have the right to embarrass me. They were 7 (my son) and 9 (my daughter) at the time. So far, so good.

Has anyone ever had a teenage girl. Oui I’d think a boy who way easier. My daughter was rough to handle.

I said we were raising three psychotic stuntmen in training, and my wife got very serious and said, “Hey it’s not easy raising the future leaders of the free world.”

Yup! This is @kimrhodes.bsky.social who, in her real life is a stone cold babe, and has a daughter.

Because our two sons were born in London, I felt we had to become citizens to make sure we'd be able to continue staying in America. It turns out I over reacted, my sons don't drink or behave as badly as I did when I was that young. 🙄

Yes can confirm

Both boys and girls need love. Go from there.

can debunk 🤷‍♂️ Drugs, alcohol, cutting, sexual assualt, suicides amongst friends vs shouting at teammates for not buying defuse kit

What has aged me the most is hearing the sadness from my daughters as they confirm that they will not risk having children without access to care if their pregnancy is problematic, watching their shoulders sag when they see the onslaught of efforts to diminish them, trying to comprehend the hatred

I have 3 in their 20s - 2 boys, 1 girl. She’s the middle child, and my youngest son is on autism spectrum. Daughter was 2x the work (mentally) as both boys *combined* when they all were younger (grammar and high school). Today, she’s awesome - but back then, oof. It was rough…..

4SHO‼️

Having neither makes you age slower

Nope. Daughters

Raising both will age you 😳🍹

Only someone without a daughter would say such a thing.

Ha! At 81 with 4 sons, I am forever young

Indeed.

❤️‍🩹 ☹️

Not to mention all the worse ones she has to swat off her along the way. It’s crazy out there for women. Hopefully, I have taught her well enough. 🤞

This.

Huh! As the mom of two grown daughters, I am glad that they are grown.🤗

I’m on the other end of that bell curve 🫤

Can also confirm. I've three of them. One now has a Son of his own. Is it Karma with a K? Actually they're wonderful. Now.

I can believe that….

I disagree after raising 2 daughters

My data is divergent.

I don't agree with that.

disagree.....the boys were so much easier than she was- still

Probably. 🙂‍↕️(Sigh)

double confirm here too

How? Just curious.

Umm … no.

Middle school girl drama is the worst.

I don’t think this is accurate. I have 2 daughters & the oldest is a delight, while her younger sister has aged us tremendously.

Girls can be really hard on their mothers.

I believe that.

The dreaded “Hey watch this” announcing a trip to the hospital.

Same!

Ew. Just. Ew. Respectfully, this isn’t Facebook, Scott.

I also confirm that 💯💯💯 accuracy.

Me too. I am so old

My mom had two daughters and didn’t look old until her 80s.

So we are doing this gender generalization here too.

Good news for Elon then.

Today, yes. In the past, No.

Have neither and you’ll live forever. You’re welcome

Not true for me. My boys were a cakewalk. And they are wonderful husbands!

OMG is THAT what’s happening?! 😳

I thought boys are harder when they are young and later girls are harder. So it evens out.

I have a son and 2 stepdaughters. The boy has been a breeze, now, the girls made us get our first grays. I’m very moved by your thoughts about the crisis affecting young men and I live in constant worry of our boy, but he’s such a remarkable young man, I hope college doesn’t tarnish his spirit

No way! Different problems altogether.

I have zero context but no cussin way

Ditto.

Ditto. I have a 43-yr-old nightmare dtr. Turned out like her narcsstc father after all, tho i divorced him when she was 19 mos.

Can confirm.

My twin girls are way more stressful than my son.

🙋‍♀️

There's a distribution behind every aggregate statistic. We may be on the unlucky side 😛
